Flying soon? How to lock in Des Moines airport parking now
If you’re planning a trip from Des Moines International Airport this spring break, it’s essential to secure a parking spot early. The expanded garage can still fill up quickly, so checking availability and reserving a spot online is key. The article covers current garage and economy lot capacities, pricing, and how to use airport and nearby private lots with online reservations to avoid being shut out.
How neighbors and a K-9 helped end a Des Moines standoff
Des Moines police arrested a wanted man following a short vehicle chase, foot pursuit through the Highland Park neighborhood, and a 45-minute negotiation at a Hull Avenue garage. Officers used a K-9 and tips from nearby residents, and brought in a crisis negotiator because they didn’t know if the suspect was armed.

The Iowa DNR is considering small license fee increases and will take public comments through March 24, including at a 1 p.m. in-person meeting in Des Moines. Proposed hikes range from 50 cents to $2.50 and would start with the 2027 recreation year, marking the first increase since 2019.
