Shop Talk- Turning left onto Tacoma is a BAD IDEA!

We do everything we can to bring you in and keep you happy, but sometimes keeping you happy means making it easy for you leave.  If you’re planning to take the Sellwood Bridge, traffic can make a left turn frustrating to say the least.  This month’s Shop Talk brings you a couple tricks that will keep you from waiting all day.

Merge Lane


If you head straight out of the parking lot and east on Tenino St, make a left onto 7th.  Then, when you get to Tacoma, make a left turn into the protected center lane at 7th and Tacoma.  This will give you a safe haven to merge onto westbound Tacoma and get on with your day.

‘Round the Block


This is a little longer than using the merge lane, but works just as well.  You can turn left out of our parking lot onto 6th and then make a right onto Tacoma.  Get into the merge lane, and make a left at 7th.   Now, go around the block… left on Spokane, left on 6th, then an easy right onto Tacoma and onto the bridge.
