Parking in Seattle

[papiandbumble]

Maybe a long shot but hope some locals can help-

I'm relocating to Seattle.. going from a single family and driveway to downtown apartment life in University District (initially).

I'm not from Seattle.. any suggestions on where I can park or how I can park that would fit a Raptor?

I'm worried garages are going to be tight.. and don't want to deal with that every time I need to drive.

I'm willing to park elsewhere since I'll take public transportation or my scooter around the city locally.

Thanks!

There is a decent amount of onstreet parking in the U District. Most of it is paid or at least registered through terminals - often free in off-peak hours.

e: also, if you know how tall it is, many parking websites show the clearance along with the location. I can't do anything less than 7' with the roof rack.

Thanks friend. Been a minute since I lived in a city and was a little nervous. I've been poking around some parking apps and looks like some lots not too far from me that I can do a monthly fee to park at. Might be the best bet.

The Spot Hero app is pretty good at listing the heights of the garages. I use that one often when going into the city.

Move to the Kitsap Pennisula and take the ferry. Thank me later.

If it’s still on there, I think your radio antenna is supposed to be the height of the roof, so you can stop if the garage is too short.

If you are looking for storage type parking we have some places around town like...

I'd rent a storage unit if it's not the daily driver. Seattle has turned into a hellhole

That's where the gunners turret enters the equation...

Is it that bad? I looked up the crime map, definitely red for theft in my area.

But seems I'm staying on the edge of University District, theft looks a lot lower even a few blocks away.

I don't think I'll drive daily, so better to park in another area I guess?

Seattle ready!

There is a reason that everyone in seattle has a prius or a subaru. A raptor bronco will probably get tires slashed, busted out windows graffiti with some evironmental messaging and a lot of general harassment.

Unfortunately, There is a reason we and most people of common sense have moved out of the area.

Good luck to you.

Don't be under the false assumption that the "University Area" is a safe area. It's where a lot of the protests - riots - lunatics start there activities. As someone above said these same type of people see an SUV - it can certainly become a target for there shenanigans. Stay safe.
