From the north, traffic can enter over I -405 at 61 st and <br />66th Avenues. From the south, access is limited to Southcenter Parkway, Andover Park West and East, <br />and West Valley Highway. Traffic from the west can enter from I -5 at Southcenter Parkway, Klickitat <br />Drive and South 178/180th Street, and traffic from the east is limited to Strander Boulevard and South <br />178/180th Street.
