Directions to our place from the north, heading down I-5 South

Take exit 103 (2nd Ave). This comes very, very soon after exit 104. The offramp turns into 2 lanes, stay to the right. At the stop sign, take a right, heading up the hill on a windy road. Take your first left onto Emerson St. At the second stop sign, take a left onto 7th Ave. Go two blocks, then take a right onto Clark St. There's a vacant lot on that corner. We're the house on the left at the top of that block, with wood shingles. Corner of 8th and Clark.

Directions to our place from the south, heading up I-5 North

Take exit 102 (Trosper Rd.) Go left over the freeway, then take a right onto 2nd Ave (after Chevron, before Mega Foods). After a few minutes, you'll go straight through a 4 way stop at Linwood Rd. Then, there are streets angling away from you on your left (not sharp lefts). The second one is 3rd Ave., just before a light blue house with a dark blue gable. Take that street, heading up a hill. Drive a minute or so (through a stop sign at Division St. - go straight) till the main road turns left (the other options are dead ends, you go left on Bates). You'll go past a little park on your left (Jim Brown Park). The road turns right after the park, and becomes 7th Ave. Take your first left onto Clark. There's a vacant lot on that corner. We're the house on the left at the top of that block, with wood shingles. Corner of 8th and Clark.

If you miss getting on 3rd Ave, you'll stay on 2nd Ave. Don't panic. On your left you'll pass F Street, then E, D, C, B, and Division Streets. Any of them will get you up to 3rd. If you stay on 2nd, and come to a stop light, don't take the bridge on your right going back over the freeway, go straight through the light. Very soon after the light, you'll come to a place where you have to curve 90 degrees to the left, heading up the hill on a windy road. Go up that road, then take your first left onto Emerson St. At the second stop sign, take a left onto 7th Ave. Go two blocks, then take a right onto Clark St. There's a vacant lot on that corner. We're the house on the left at the top of that block, with wood shingles. Corner of 8th and Clark.

Directions to our place from the west, on Highway 101

Just before 101 reaches I-5 south, there's an exit for Crosby Blvd. Take that, and then take a right at the end of the ramp, onto Crosby Blvd. Go through one set of lights right away near the gas station (on the left), then at the second set, take a left onto Irving St. Go straight at the first stop sign (at 9th Ave). At the second stop sign, take a right onto 7th Ave. Go straight through a stop sign, then go a few blocks and take a right onto Clark St. There's a vacant lot on that corner. We're the house on the left at the top of that block, with wood shingles. Corner of 8th and Clark.

Directions to our place from the east, in case you're not on a freeway

From the Olympia Brewery, there's a road crossing I-5 called Custer Way. Custer Way intersects Capitol Blvd by the South Pacific Chinese restaurant and the Baskin Robbins. From here it's not far, there are just lots of turns:

  1. Take Custer Way east across the freeway. At the T (Old Town Center), go left on 2nd Ave.
  2. Travel 1 block, go right on Division St. (uphill, steep).
  3. Travel 1 block, go right on 3rd Ave.
  4. Travel 1 block, go left on Bates.
  5. Travel 4 blocks, past Jim Brown Park on your left (with tennis courts), go right on 7th Ave.
  6. Travel 1 block, go left on Clark St.
  7. Travel 1 block, turn the corner, and we are on your left, the house with wood shingles.
