Finding Westminster House

From I-5: Cross Willamette Bridge on rt. 34 then continue straight on Harrison Blvd.

From North: Entering on 99w, turn right on Harrison at light.

From South: from 99W, turn left on Harrison.

All: then turn left on 23rd. It’s just a few blocks, on left, a Tudor-style building with own parking lot.

From West on US20: turn left on 53rd St, then right on Harrison at 4-way stop. Turn right on 23rd St., then as above.

Because the convention is on the same day as the Corvallis Fall Festival and an OSU home game, we will only have five reserved parking spots. Locals are asked to bicycle and carpool.  Carpools can drop off their passengers and will be directed to park at a separate location by George Hutchinson in units of five.
