Parking in Downtown Seattle

Street parking is free on Sundays, and after 8pm on Weekdays. As with parking anywhere in the city (no matter if it’s a parking lot or street parking), make sure you don’t leave any valuables or “bait” in your vehicle. Parking is generally safest on 1st Ave, and parking spots are generally abundant on the three blocks between Virginia and Bell.

PROTECT YOUR VALUABLES:

If you are shopping at Crystal Lounge, but also have other adventures planned in downtown Seattle, you are welcome to check a bag or two with us for safekeeping. No need to put them in your car. We will gladly protect your valuables and give you peace of mind so you can enjoy your day downtown. Just be sure to come back before we close for the day!

FIVE MINUTE LOADING ZONE:

For quick pick-ups, there is a 5 minute loading zone just outside the shop, and another that’s closer to Lenora Street.

TOW AWAY CAUTION:

Be aware of areas that have “No Parking – Tow Away” signs during certain hours. The city is quick to tow!

PARKING LOTS:

CLOSEST PARKING LOT:

Mid-block near our shop, there’s a U-Park, uncovered parking lot, which includes one ADA paid parking space. U-Park has a lot on both of the next blocks North on 1st. The one closest to the shop is the most expensive. One block further saves you about $5.

SAVE BIG MONEY ON PARKING:

Use the “SpotHero” app, and reserve your spot in a paid parking lot. By using the app you can generally find a parking spot for the whole day for about $15.

Accessibility

Our shop has an ADA lift & ADA restroom. There is one paid ADA parking spot available in the parking lot two doors down. We have couches and seats available.

COVID Policy

If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID or have been exposed, please stay home. We are happy to help you over the phone, or you can shop our online store.

We do not require vaccinations or masks. We do ask that you use hand sanitizer at the door, so that you can touch the crystals in the shop.

Services

We do offer paid crystal identification services. Identification starts at a flat rate of $20 plus $1 per stone we’re able to identify. Depending on the volume of stones you need to be identified and the time necessary for the service, additional charges may apply. Please call ahead if you’re bringing in stones for identification services so that our staff can be prepared to help you!

We do not offer appraisal services.
