While the rain shouldn&rsquo;t dampen your day in the Emerald City, driving around for hours in search of a parking spot just might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of letting the parking situation get you down, set yourself up for success by learning how to score an affordable and convenient parking space in the city with our ultimate guide to Seattle parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-two-types-of-seattle-parking-options\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Two Types of Seattle Parking Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&rsquo;s no shortage of parking spaces in Seattle. However, it can still be hard to find an open spot due to the sheer number of residents competing for the same, limited number of parking spots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&rsquo;re looking for real-time updates on available garages, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/parking-lot-investment-opportunities\/\">parking lots<\/a>, and street parking options in Downtown Seattle, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkme.com\/seattle-parking\" target=\"_blank\">INRIX&rsquo;s ParkMe Seattle Parking Map<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Downtown Seattle Parking&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/downtownseattle.org\/parking\/\" target=\"_blank\">online interactive map<\/a> is another helpful resource for finding real-time parking spots where you can legally park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of roaming the city in search of parking, reference one of these maps for assistance. You&rsquo;ll be able to see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/parking-space-dimensions\/\">how many spaces<\/a> are available at each parking location.

Remember that most Seattle-paid parking spots are charged in 50-cent increments, so make sure you have $1 bills and quarters to make exact change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Many metered parking spots also allow you to pay with a physical card<\/strong>. Just know that, unlike paying for parking via the PayByPhone app, you won&rsquo;t have the luxury of adding more time to your parking spot when you pay in person by card. Instead, you&rsquo;ll need to physically return to where you parked your car and manually add more time by swiping your credit card.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"best-parking-garages-in-seattle\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Parking Garages in Seattle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are five of the best parking garages in Downtown Seattle based on affordability, convenience, and accessibility:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/map\/7th-and-pike-garage-grand-hyatt-self-parking-seattle-3\" target=\"_blank\">7th &amp; Pike Garage<\/a>, 1508 7th Avenue&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/map\/pike-place-market-parking-garage-seattle\" target=\"_blank\">Pike Place Market Parking Garage<\/a>, 1531 Western Avenue&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/map\/west-edge-garage-republic-parking-seattle\" target=\"_blank\">West Edge Republic Parking Garage<\/a>, 200 Pike Street<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/map\/market-place-garage-imperial-parking-seattle\" target=\"_blank\">Market Place Imperial Parking Garage<\/a>, 65 Lenora Street&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/map\/komo-plaza-garage-seattle-3\" target=\"_blank\">KOMO Plaza Garage<\/a>, 140 4th Avenue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rules-of-parking-in-seattle\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules of Parking in Seattle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking for somewhere to park in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/places\/wa\/seattle\/?sh=64a4a7832ab2\" target=\"_blank\">Seattle<\/a>, never park in alleyways or on sidewalks. You can park near stop signs, yield signs, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and driveways as long as you do not park closer than the legal distances:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Within 30 feet of stop signs&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within 30 feet of yield signs&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within 20 feet of crosswalks&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within 15 feet of fire hydrants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within 5 feet of driveways&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/timothylee\/2012\/04\/11\/parking-as-a-shared-resource\/?sh=f94d8fe13b36\" target=\"_blank\">parking in Seattle<\/a>, <strong>pay attention to the curbs&rsquo; paint colors<\/strong>. A curb painted yellow, white, or red means you cannot park in that space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, before you park your car, make sure you understand the time limits. Paid street parking options often limit the amount of time you can park in one spot at any given time.<strong> These limits are often two, four, or ten hours,<\/strong> depending on the location, so check the parking sign to see what the time-related restrictions are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter what, you cannot park your car on Seattle streets for longer than 72 hours, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattle.gov\/documents\/Departments\/SDOT\/ParkingProgram\/CanIParkHereBrochure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Seattle Department of Transportation (DOT)<\/a>.
