First two hours of parking are FREE on Seattle's Waterfront!
Look for the orange poster at participating businesses.
Seattle, September 21, 2020 — Waterfront customers PARK FREE for up to three two hours (starting January 1, 2023) in the Pike Place Market Garage. You have several options to enter the Pike Place Market Garage:
Car entrance at 1531 Western Avenue, Seattle, WA map
Car entrance 1901 Western Avenue, Seattle, WA map
Car entrance at 1530 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA map (presently closed due to new road construction)
When you visit a participating waterfront store, attraction, or restaurant, please ask for a parking voucher at time of purchase. The vouchers are good for up to 2 hours of parking. Keep it safe and dry with your parking garage entry ticket. Do NOT bend nor dip it in chowder!
HOW TO REDEEM YOUR VOUCHER
Redeem your parking voucher at any of the six automated payment machines in the garage by following these steps:
1. Insert the parking garage ticket first.
2. Insert the parking voucher second in the same slot.
3. After the voucher is inserted, up to 2 hours of parking will be deducted from the total due.
4. If more than 2 hours is owed, then the balance can be paid with a debit or credit card directly at the same machine.
This is an automated process done by the machine – attendants may not be aware of this promotion. Enjoy your visit here! The waterfront businesses look forward to welcoming you.
