Seattle third-most expensive city for parking, report says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Returning office workers are filling out the streets of Seattle again and reencountering the problem of pricey parking.

Seattle is the third-most expensive city in the U.S. for parking, an analysis by mobility services company FINN has found.

Monthly parking in Seattle can cost upward of $250, behind only New York City ($443) and San Francisco ($300). Joining Seattle at the No. 3 spot is Philadelphia, where the least expensive parking spot also costs $250 per month.

Parking usage in Seattle significantly dropped off early in the pandemic as remote work surged and office buildings emptied out.

Hence why I usually take public transit when I go to Seattle. When I did pay for parking, it was doing contracted work (I had to bring tools for the job) where I was able to voucher the cost of parking.

UW assessment finds fentanyl and methamphetamine smoke linger on public ...

Sep 7, 2023The answer is nuanced. A UW research team conducted a limited-scope, first-of-its-kind assessment and detected fentanyl and methamphetamine on board numerous transit vehicles, both in the air and on surfaces. But nearly all of the positive samples contained small amounts that are unlikely to cause acute medical conditions.
