I am interested in visiting Seattle a few times in the late Spring and Summer. Do any of you know of motorcycle friendly parking in Seattle (downtown mostly)? Thanks. |

Sidewalks, alleys, areas between marked spaces, and roads are all illegal parking spots. | |

Might have to walk a bit depending on your destination....or just feed a parking meter and hope no one snags your parking receipt sticker for their own car leaving you with a parking ticket. |

| Permit  Joined: Nov 2007 From: Everett, WA I Ride: 07 R6 | I would pay the lot attendants, cost is about $8 for the day not to bad instead of leaving it on the street to get a $35 ticket. There are a few places by western ave and seneca that you see motorcycle parked for "free", of course can't guarantee the safety. |

| Training Wheels  Joined: Jul 2008 From: Beaverton, OR I Ride: Kawasaki 2002 ZZR1200 | Greeting from Oregon! I've got a multi-day biz trip to Seattle coming up starting next weekend (Oct 19th - 22nd). I'm staying at the Sheraton on Sixth Ave. and I'm riding my bike up if the weather looks OK. Is there any cheap motorcycle parking nearby? The hotel says they have m/c parking @ $15/night -- I'm wondering if there is anything cheaper. PM me if you know of anything. Thx! |

| Newbie Joined: Feb 2009 From: seattle, wa | i wish seattle was more like san franciso, tons of parking (free, secured, illegal)... now here is my dilemma and i hope you guys can help. i know the situation in seattle as i'm originally from here. i am moving back from the SF and getting a place downtown (close proximity to belltown) i need to find a cheap secure parking area close to belltown or along a free bus route. willing to pay around $150/month (otherwise i dont get to leave seattle as easily as i would like since i would park the bike @ a friends house over on the eastside, since i'll be relegated to my BMW.... you BUS MUNICIPAL or WALKING) need help soon, will be back in town by mid march and hopefully the no rain for at least 3-5 days a week until fall. any help would be much appreciated and if someone gives me a really good hook-up then i'll take ya for a couple rounds at ohana's. |

| Superbiker  Joined: Jan 2009 From: Wenatchee, WA I Ride: a slow bike fast | Seattle is crazy uptight about M/C parking. In Vancouver I would just pull it up onto the sidewalk ANYWHERE, for ANY period of time with no probs. But then they figured out I had a MaryJane charge from like 8 years ago and started to deny me access...BC denying me access cuzz a pot charge...lol..hypocrites. Anyhow, Wenatchee isn't any better we have what we call the "Parking Nazi" She is the only parking cop in the city and mainly stays downtown, but she has been doing it for like 15 years and cuts NO BREAKS.  on a disc lock while in Seattle.
