As we all (hopefully) know, parking in downtown Seattle is raep. I know that the WCSTC pretty much has the cheapest parking around, however, details are rather sparse.

Do you get in and out privleges?

It closes at night, but will your car still be there in the morning?

If you know the answers to these questions or can recommend other spots to park, plz poast. <3

    I would be interested to know the answers to these questions as well. Although, I think I'm probably going to end up taking the bus, and making sure I don't stay so late as to not have a bus back home.

    I know there are billions of spots, and that any con I've ever gone to there has had ample parking. So at least don't worry about room.

    Don't know the answers to the other. Last time I parked across the street. I never moved my car, and it cost me $60 for the entire 3 days. My car was safe, and I had an elevator to the building right across the street. I'll likely park there again.

    Yes your car will be there in the morning. Ive parked there for a whole weekend many times.

    Parking cost for me from thursday to monday was usually around $70

    That $35 a day parking at the hotels probably does :P otherwise if you park, plan on staying unless you enjoy rape.

    WSCTC has a descent price, though there are other garages nearby that I've heard are cheaper, even free (can't confirm). I'm just keeping my truck parked at my hotel (Red Lion, $30 a night) all weekend. It's not cheap, but I fucking hate driving in Seattle, and it's just convenient for us.

    I suggest finding some off street and doing a little walking, very little. It's very quick and easy to get around Seattle by foot.

    Sunday parking is free and alot more of it opens up.

    I'm fat, and I've walked from there a dozen times.

    As for the hotels, I seem to remember that the Sheraton would charge an additional fee for every entry/exit event during your stay on top of their $30 a day parking.... 's why we just left the car in there the entire time last year. Dunno about the Hyatt, but we'll just leave it with them again for the entire trip. Walking is good, transit in that area of downtown is _FREE_, and the SLUT is apparently cheap.
