There are 32 distinct paid parking areas in Seattle, most with specific morning, afternoon, and evening parking rates. This recognizes that parking demand varies in different parts of the city, and by time of day, and allows us to adjust rates to better manage parking demand at the curb.
In total, there are almost 90 location and time-of-day combinations, as shown in the chart below. More than half of these time-of-day areas will remain unchanged.
These summer parking rates are determined using data from May 2024.
This parking rate update is consistent with the Seattle Municipal Code requirements and guidance that have informed our rate adjustments since 2011.
