Parking is free on Sundays! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To see how much metered-parking costs during any given time, visit this parking map and type in your parking destination and time of day: <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How does overnight parking work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Street parking is free between 6 or 8PM-8AM, but finding a spot can be difficult if you\u2019re in a highly trafficked area. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here\u2019s a trick: from 10 p.m. until paid parking officially begins the next morning at 8 AM, Seattle\u2019s pay stations are programmed to allow customers to pre-pay for the next morning\u2019s parking if you\u2019re hoping to park overnight and sleep in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, if you park overnight on the street in a residential area with no parking limits, keep in mind that if your car is parked in the same spot for longer than 72-hours, you could face a parking ticket. Seattle also has many parking garages that offer overnight parking and long-term parking for residents and visitors. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"amp-wp-inline-2f0158eb062d1ac553a7edcb8a744628\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/seattle\/seattle-overnight-parking\"><button class=\"button button-blog\">Find Out Where To Park Overnight Here<\/button><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>What\u2019s the cost of a parking ticket? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Ticket Type <\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Fee Amount <\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No RPZ permit in a residential parking zone<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$250.00<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parking in a disabled space without a permit\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$450.00<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parking illegally in an alley or driveway<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$47.00<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parking in a loading zone\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$47.00<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parking in longer than the time allowed<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$44.00<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parking in a taxi zone\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$47.00<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving your car on the street for longer than 72 hours<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$44.0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parking illegally in an electric vehicle charging station<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$124.00<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Towed or booted car?
