If headed North on I-5 :
Take the Greeley/Swan Island exit (just past the Rose Quarter). This puts you onto No. Greeley. Follow it up the hill to the Village site.

If coming from 405 North to I-5 North:
While crossing the Fremont Bridge, stay in the right lane of the 2 lanes that enter onto I-5 North. When on I-5, take the first exit, Killingsworth, and follow it around to the left. It turns into Going Street. Go through the first light and get in the right-hand lane. At the bottom of the slope watch for a sharp right turn marked “To No. Greeley Avenue.” Go right and take the next right onto Greeley. Follow it up the hill to the Village site.

If headed South on I-5:
Take the Swan Island/Alberta exit. At the light, continue straight through it, staying to the right, and continue south to Going Street. Turn right onto Going. Go through the first light and get in the right-hand lane. At the bottom of the slope watch for a sharp right turn marked “To No. Greeley Ave.” Go right and take the next right onto Greeley. Follow it up the hill to the Village site.

If coming from I-84:
Take I-84 West toward downtown, and take the I-5 North exit. Stay on I-5 North to the Greeley/Swan Island exit (just past the Rose Quarter). This puts you onto No. Greeley. Follow it up the hill to the Village site.


When you are nearing the Village on Greeley Avenue:

As you near the village on Greeley,
You will see the black and green color blocks on our bldgs to your left, and then you will see the red, blue and yellow buildings on your right. You want to drive past the red, blue, and yellow buildings and turn right just past the yellow building (intersection of N. Greeley and N. Sumner Streets). This will lead you to visitor parking behind the yellow building and you will proceed to the front desk just inside the yellow building. Let the front desk know you are here to see me. They will give you a badge and send you over the sky bridge.

 If you get turned around on your way here call the adidas main number 971-234-2300 and press “0”.
