Street parking rates increase in some Seattle areas
Paid-parking rate adjustments took effect throughout the city of Seattle Monday.
Three times per year, the seasonal increase is adjusted to reflect “the latest real-world usage data and seasonal trends,” according to the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT).
The agency notes the adjustment is part of their regular process “to help ensure enough parking is available.” Data collected and reviewed from May developed this set of changes.
Parking rates will remain $2.50 per hour or less at half of the neighborhoods and times, SDOT says. Rates will not increase in 40% of the neighborhoods and times of day. But a handful of busy neighborhoods will see a rate of $5 per hour to park during peak times.
