Body in Balance Acupuncture PLLC is located in the University District, on 45th Street, just one block west of Roosevelt Avenue. It is 3 blocks west of the U District light rail station and on several major bus lines. From I-5 north or south, take the 45th Street exit and head east on 45th. Take a left on 9th Avenue NE. Take a right on 47th and then the first right into the parking lot. My office is located in the University Business Center. Take the elevator to the third floor, go past the reception desk to the end of the hall, and take a left. My office is in the first hallway on the right. Ring the bell when you get to my office.
For patients arriving before 8:30, after 5:30, or on weekends, the building or the security gate may be locked. If this occurs, please call 206-841-8500 (this is a landline and does not accept text messages) to let me know you're here, and I'll let you in. If I don't answer, leave a voicemail. I'm likely in with a patient and will come and get you as soon as I am able.
Parking: The easiest option is to take advantage of free two-hour street parking. Otherwise, there is free validated parking in spots #1-157 in the lot to the north of the building (the open lot and the 2nd and 3rd floor of the parking garage). The parking area is accessed from 47th Street, at the corner of 9th and 47th. (The lower level is for Trader Joe’s parking only.) The lot across the street is pay-parking only, except for visitors with a disabled parking privilege plate or placard, who can park free in any of the handicapped stalls.
