Parking at SiteCrafting: Parking is available in front of and around the building. The entrance to our office is facing the freeway/LeMay (look for the sign that says SiteCrafting above the door). The parking lot with gates around it behind Sprague is for Sprague, but parking in front of Milgard, Sprague, our building and the church is fair game.
