West Seattle Junction Area

Junction On-Street Parking Changes

SDOT is issuing a decision to create a new Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) in the West Seattle Junction in fall 2019 along with additional unpaid time limits and individual parking space changes. See the notice of decision mailer for more details.

Thank you to all who participated in this process. 

For more information see:

Next Steps

We will be sending residents in the new RPZ 35 area (the orange-shaded area on the map above) information on purchasing permits prior to RPZ sign installation. Zone 35 signs will be installed beginning the week of November 18. 

Project Background

As Seattle continues to grow, so too does the demand for access and parking in the City's busiest areas, including our urban villages and neighborhood business districts like West Seattle. Specific to West Seattle, SDOT also received a formal request for a new Restricted Parking Zone. SDOT reviewed parking and access in the area with local stakeholders to determine potential improvements to area parking management and will be implementing parking changes in fall 2019.
