Seattle to adjust paid street parking rates starting March 28
Various business districts and neighborhoods in Seattle will soon see adjusted on-street paid parking rates to manage local conditions and parking demand proactively.
The goal, according to the Seattle Department of Transportation, is to ensure that approximately one to two spaces will be open and available on each block throughout the day, helping people to find parking near their destination.
Luckily, the adjustment doesn’t necessarily mean your favorite spot will see higher prices as on-street parking rates in Seattle overall are remaining at or below $2 per hour at 95% of locations and times of day. Of the 90 total different paid parking rates and times in Seattle, SDOT is making 37 adjustments.
Four locations will see a rate decrease of $0.50 an hour at some times of the day, including sections of the Chinatown-International District, the Waterfront, Pioneer Square, and South Lake Union. Many areas will continue to see low rates of $0.50 per hour at some point in the day. The highest hourly rate in Seattle after the March 28 adjustment will be $3 per hour.
