What is the parking situation?

I've been to three previous PAX's when they were held in Bellevue and I never had a problem with parking either at the Mayden Bauer center, nor at the Hotel where the table games were. Please tell me that there is parking available at the Convention center or some lot close by. I live in Seattle, so there is no need to stay at the hotels.

Location and prices of all parking structures within a 8 block (about) radius of the convention center.
There is plenty of parking at the wsctc but i fear pax may fill that up.
just to sooth my paranoid mind, redlion has its own parking correct?
At $24 a day (and closing at midnight) I doubt it will fill up.
hate to break it to you but nearly everything within walking distance (8 blocks, unless you really want to walk further) of the wsctc is over $20 a day.
OMG /QUIT PAX
Yeah I'm paying $26 a day for parking at the Westin. Though there is apparently $15 a day parking right close by.
yup, park plaza. Although I do not know there hours.

will tell you the route to take. There's a pretty large ride free zone downtown that includes the convention center, so if your hotel is inside or only a block or two outside its an even better deal.

Plus, its Seattle so its not like the busses get all that shady, even late at night. At least from the perspective of an ex-Philly rider, so your mileage may vary if you're from Niceville, WI or something.
I am going to have to pay for 6 days of parking at the wsctc
Man. This year when I parked at SakuraCon at the WSCTC, it was only $10 for the whole day. The prices jumped that much in a few months? Crazy!
Thankfully, I assume the Grand Hyatt will probably have parking for me, and I'll just walk to the convention center (around the corner).
Uh you didnt park there the entire (24h) day then.
$10 is about... 8 hours i think.
no names or prices on the map
Yeah it would if you didnt download and install google earth and use the pax map plugin for it ;-)
I just viewed it in google earth and its all there. Hours, costs, and the clearances of the garages are in there.
And then you can expand the parking thread on the left side. Shows prices and everything.
I acquired all that parking info back in march so if its not 100% accurate its not my fault :P Prices dont change much in that time period so it should be good.
Alternative to parking is doing a park-and-ride, or bussing/taxiing in to the show. Or carpooling and splitting carpet fees.
Yes.
But doesn't that come out to like $72 for the event? Ouch!
Indeed it does
Ill be there for 5 days so....
I'll be at the red lion 5 days as well. same price for parking
