It's still there! We are in town for work. Tonight we walked down to the (empty and very creepy) parking garage and located parking spot D-32! No sign there, so we exited the garage and started to walk back to our hotel and came across the historical marker, a little ways away from the garage. Very cool!

The garage still stands as of summer 2021 -- the demolition has not been carried out yet, all these years later.

I visited this historic site on Sunday. The building is slated for redevelopment, but the marker is outside on the sidewalk, so it will remain even after the building is razed and something else takes its place.

The Arlington County Board announced that the garage where "Deep Throat" met reporter Bob Woodward will be razed to make way for "a residential tower and a commercial building."
According to msn.com, the historical marker that was placed at the garage in 2011 will be saved, and the landowner has promised to "create a commemorative memorial to the Watergate events."

Plenty of metered parking around the area. Getting inside the Deep Throat rendevous garage is easy but it appeared that the doors to the elevators were controlled by security passes. You can still take the stairs down to get to the spot. The column next to D-32 is marked with yellow and black tape and an old newspaper article documenting when Felt came forward in 2005 and said where this rendezvous point was.
Garage is rather creepy on Sunday afternoons, but it shows why this was the perfect place to meet!
