Washington Street, Cork
Washington Street ( ga, Sráid Washington) is a street in central Cork city, Ireland. Built in 1824, it runs from the old medieval town centre onto the site of the western marshes, and today links the Western Road and Lancaster Quay with the Grand Parade.

In 2000, one person was killed when the facade of a Washington Street building partially collapsed.
