Parking in Seattle is challenging with scarce off-street parking. This issue is aggravated by those who would flout the law, and park on the street in excess of 3 days and/or park too close to driveways, making it difficult to enter and exit streets.

Now is the time for justice! There is help a phone call away. By contacting the Seattle Parking Authority you can exact your own form of parking justice, and keep those streets just a bit safer for…parking.

For your viewing pleasure, the parking statute:
