Doggett's Parking: Company History

The first parking company established in the nation’s capital, Doggett’s Parking was founded in 1926 by Leonard B. Doggett, Sr. and Rose Marie Doggett. During this time, fewer than 100,000 cars traveled the streets of Washington, DC annually. Today, more than 500,000 vehicles drive and park in the metropolitan Washington region every day. As it was 75 years ago, Doggett’s Parking Company continues to be first in the nation’s capital with courteous, efficient and comprehensive parking services. Learn more in Services

Today, Doggett’s Parking provides a network of convenient parking facilities strategically located throughout the Washington area. Commuters, shoppers, tourists – any motorist – can park at a Doggett’s facility and know that their cars will be handled with care by expert attendants wearing our distinctive green uniforms embossed with the Doggett’s Diamond logo.

Our long history of success is due, in part, to our continued dedication to positive customer influence through ease of parking and a courteous and proficient staff. We maintain this goal through intensive primary screening of personnel and continued evaluation and supervision.

Doggett’s present operation includes:

Shopping centers
Office buildings

Federal enclaves
Commercial off-street parking facilities (both surface and sub-surface)
