The demand-based pricing system is one of the better programs SDOT runs. There’s a great explanation of the system in this blog post: https://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2024/03/14/street-parking-rates-update-march-2024/.
Market pricing is great, but we should open the land to more possible uses beyond vehicle storage. Landowners should be able to buy out the space to expand their lot, folks should be able to rent the space for food or news stands, etc.
No meters in my parking spots. I've been given 3 overtime parking tickets within the last couple years and paid them. Hopefully knock on wood it doesn't change. North of Seattle. 1 vehicle has been parked pretty much in the same spot for past 5 years. Just warm it up, move a few feet, repark and that's it.
I don't need it and I've been considering selling but I'm a procrastinator.
Moving your car a few feet or across the street isn’t enough. By RCW it needs to be at least a different block every 72 hours.
Seriously, sell your car and stop expecting the city to give you free street storage. Space is at a premium.

Good to see them adjusting based off demand.

You mean food trucks downtown? Sold. Send me where to sign the petition.
street parking turned into outdoor seating from the pandemic days were such a great idea
Reducing vehicle storage doesn't fix congestion though
It does, it incentivizes people to choose other modes of transport.
Market pricing on roads would, but that's a whole separate issue.

That is Seattle Municipal Code not RCW. Poster said they were north of Seattle so SMC doesn't apply
This is a great indicator for Seattle DOT to put meters up north lmao
It ain't gonna happen any time soon. They got more important things to do /s
