I haven’t experienced this for new (and even old) luxury high rises in Seattle. The reason street parking is a shitshow is because private developers charge huge amounts of money for their parking garage. New high rises have huge amounts of below ground parking. 7 floors in one brand new building which comes to mind!! Like $50/night for public parking too — people are obviously going to try to find the free street parking instead.
The areas of Seattle where it’s difficult to park (like Capitol Hill and First Hill) also have a lot of older buildings. But brand new high rise and mid rise buildings typically have plenty of room for resident parking — it just costs like $200-$400/mo depending where you are. And often not available to guests.
Amazon buildings have lots of parking too, and it’s available for public use at times as well.
- CalRobert 3y agoThis is a great argument for making street parking more expensive - it really should cost more than the garage, since it's the most conveniently placed. A parking benefit district can capture that revenue to improve the area.
