About the Project 

We’re adding more paid parking, new loading zones, and parking spaces for people with disabilities on nine blockfaces in Columbia City. These updates will help make parking easier to find, support local businesses, and keep deliveries and traffic moving smoothly. 

SDOT plans to install these changes in May 2026. Paid parking will be in effect Monday through Saturday, from 8 AM to 8 PM. Parking is free on Sundays and City holidays.

Mga Pagbabago sa Paradahan ng Columbia City

Nagdaragdag kami ng higit pang bayad na paradahan sa Columbia City upang gawing mas madali para sa mga taong nagmamaneho na makahanap ng espasyo malapit sa mga tindahan, restaurant, at lugar ng komunidad.

Nangangahulugan ito na ang mga taong nagmamaneho ng mas kaunting oras sa pagmamaneho sa paligid na naghahanap ng lugar, at ang mga negosyo ay maaaring tumanggap ng higit pang mga customer.

Humihingi kami ng feedback mula sa komunidad ngayon. Mangyayari ang mga pagbabago sa huling bahagi ng 2025.

What's happening now? 

In 2025 and 2026, SDOT conducted data analysis and community outreach in Columbia City in response to consistently high on-street parking demand in the area. Columbia City has had paid parking since 2017.  Parking demand and occupancy has continued to increase as the neighborhood has grown.  Data showed that parking in the area was in very high demand.  

To improve customer and visitor access and support local businesses, SDOT expanded paid parking and added new load zones and disabled parking zones in May 2026. In April 2026, SDOT also lowered paid parking rates in Columbia City by $2-$2.50 per hour.

The current paid parking rates in Columbia City are: 

  • Morning (8 AM - 11 AM): $1.00
  • Afternoon (11 AM - 5 PM): $4.00
  • Evening (5 PM - 8 PM): $4.00

In late 2026, we will collect parking occupancy data and adjust rates citywide using our performance metric targets for parking occupancy. The next paid parking rate change in Columbia City will occur in late 2026. 

Paid parking is in effect Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 8 PM. Parking is free on Sundays. 

Overview of Installed Changes: 

In May 2026, SDOT made curbspace changes on the below streets in Columbia City:  

  • New 2-hour paid parking, load zones, and disabled parking spaces on:
    • S Edmunds St from 37th Ave S to Rainier Ave S (south side)
    • S Edmunds St from 39th Ave S to Rainier Ave S (south side)
    • Rainier Ave S from S Hudson St to 39th Ave S (east and west sides)
    • S Hudson St from 37th Ave S to Rainier Ave S (north and south sides) 
  • New 4-hour paid parking, load zones, and disabled parking spaces on:
    • S Alaska St from Rainier Ave S to 38th Ave S (north and south sides) 

map of planned parking changes in Columbia City

On the south side of S Hudson St, between 37th Ave S and Rainier Ave S, parking would changed from free 2-hour parking except with a Restricted Parking Zone 29 (RPZ-29) permit to 2-hour paid parking for everyone. This change affected about four parking spaces. Our Restricted Parking Zone Map shows where residents are eligible for RPZ permits and where there are RPZ 29 signs. 

SDOT will also add 4-hour paid parking, load zones, and disabled parking spaces on:  

  • S Alaska St from Rainier Ave to 38th Ave S (north and south side)  

Our Restricted Parking Zone Map shows where residents are eligible for RPZ permits and where RPZ permit holders are allowed to park. 

Why we made parking changes

Columbia City has changed a lot since we first introduced paid parking here in 2017. Our parking data showed that finding a parking spot in Columbia City can be tough, especially during busy afternoons and evenings.    

Our goals with these changes are to:  

  • Make parking more available near shops, parks, and other destinations
  • Reduce circling and congestion from people searching for parking
  • Support local businesses by improving parking turnover and customer access
  • Improve access by adding loading zones and disabled parking spaces
  • Better manage parking demand in this busy neighborhood
