Parking. There are three parking spaces available at WSC. Each will accomodate up to a 15 passenger van or mini-bus. Charter buses can park at Union Station, which is 8 blocks away.
Riding. The DC public transit consists of both an underground metrorail system and a bus system. We are located just a few blocks from two metro stations - Capitol South and Eastern Market - and on a major bus line. Plan your trips around town using the metro trip planner.
Walking. Back in the neighborhood, you can walk to everything you need for your stay - local restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops. In fact, WSC earned a score of “94 - walker’s paradise”at Walkscore.com. Check out the interactive neighborhood map on our location page.
Weather. Check out the DC weather forecast before you leave!
Safety. WSC is located in a pretty safe neighborhood. That being said, it’s always good to follow a few city-life precautions. In large groups, use a buddy system at night. Should you need them, the local police substation is located 4 blocks away at 500 E Street SE Washington DC, 202-698-0068.
