Off-Street Parking in Downtown Seattle
SDOT periodically surveys off-street parking in downtown Seattle to monitor the supply of off-street parking, improve our understanding of how parking is used in different neighborhoods, and provide a consistent data source for public and private projects.
Our most recent study was completed in Fall 2023 and provides a comprehensive account of parking conditions and trends in the Center City. For the 2023 study, SDOT also inlcuded analysis of event parking rate data and indexed garage data to reflect changes in parking throughout the day.
Earlier downtown parking studies were conducted by the Puget Sound Regional Council.
Each technical report contains the study methodology and summary of findings.
