GETTING TO US

Click image to see how to get into our parking garage at the Lakeview Building.

  • By Bus (recommended)
    • Use the Metro Trip Planner to find the right bus to get to us!
    • #26, #28, #31, #32 and #40 are located the closest to our office. Exit at Fremont Avenue North and North 34th Street. Walk east on North 34th Street for one block until you see the JP Patches statue and Anytime Fitness. 
  • By Car
  • Parking in Fremont
    • We offer guest parking up to 2 hours under our building. We recommend parking below our building no earlier than 30 minutes before your Hosted Visit to ensure you have enough time to stay with us.
      • While driving on North 34th Street, turn down Troll Avenue towards the water. The Aurora Bridge will be directly above you. At the stop sign, take a right and then another immediate right into the Lakeview Building parking lot. Drive straight to the back of the lot and on the left hand side, you will see the parking garage gate with the sign "Lakeview Building Parking" above. Enter the parking garage, take a ticket and park anywhere on 1/P2. Take the blue Lakeview elevators up to the third floor.
      • We'll validate your parking ticket before you leave. Once your ticket has been stamped, you'll have 15 minutes to exit the parking garage.
    • Parking for longer than 2 hours? You are welcome to park in our garage for 2 hours and then move your car to a pay-to-park lot or find street parking nearby.
      • You'll find several pay-to-park lots nearby. Typical rates are $10 a day or $8 for 3-4 hours. Note: these lots take cash only. 
      • Street parking can be tricky around this area but if you do find a spot, it's typically free parking for two hours! 
      • Residential areas sometimes have unlimited parking meaning you could park all day. You might need to walk an extra 6-10 blocks but it's worth it if you plan to stay in the area for more than 2 hours.
  • By Foot
    • Use the address above and your geosense to find us!  
 

before your visit

To maximize the time you have to mingle with other geocachers and staff during the 30 minute Meet & Greet, we recommend joining us in the Visitor Center before or after the session to find the HQ geocache and sign the logbook, capture the moment in our photo booth, discover over 50 rare trackable items, add the HQ souvenir to your account, and browse exclusive HQ merchandise and geocaching supplies in the gift shop. 

We also recommend completing the Geocaching HQ GeoTour before your visit. You can Print out a GeoTour passport before you come or stop by the Visitor Center during open hours to grab one from the counter. The HQ GeoTour takes around 2.5 - 3 hours to complete. There are lots of things to do and see while here at Geocaching HQ and the Fremont neighborhood. Learn more

When you arrive, please check-in with HQ staff. 

During the facilitated Meet & Greet you will get to: 

  • Meet staff and other visitors. 

  • Share your geocaching stories and experiences.

  • Learn about our everyday work life here at HQ.
