Parking Permits and Visitor Rates on the Seattle Campus
Parking on the campus requires a valid Seattle U permit at all times, including weekends and holidays (seattleu.edu). Faculty, staff, and students use virtual permits, and the institution provides an online ordering process for purchasing a permit before parking on campus (seattleu.edu). This makes a permit the relevant option for regular campus users rather than relying on visitor payment.
Visitors must pay for parking, with permits required 24/7 (seattleu.edu). The published visitor schedule is $8 for 0-2 hours, $12 for 2:01-4 hours, $18 for 4:01-8 hours, $24 for 24 hours, and $8 for evening parking after 5 p.m. (seattleu.edu). A 15-minute visitor option is also listed by the institution (seattleu.edu). Transportation and Parking Services is the official campus parking operator, with its contact number listed as 206-296-5992 (seattleu.edu).
Busy Periods Around First Hill and Campus Parking Restrictions
A driver visiting for a class, appointment, or meeting cannot treat evenings or weekends as unrestricted campus parking periods.
The published athletic parking information gives an event parking rate of $25, with permits honored until 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and until 2.5 hours before tipoff on weekends (goseattleu.com). Parking is free at the park under that event information (goseattleu.com). These conditions make game and event schedules especially relevant when approaching the campus by car, while the campus visitor rules continue to require payment and 24/7 permits for visitor parking (seattleu.edu).

Two more secure monthly garage spaces in Seattle’s Capitol Hill area are 256 yards away, each priced at $316 a month.

Other Parking Choices Around the Campus
The campus visitor schedule is separate from other nearby parking choices, so drivers looking beyond the university can compare local facilities before entering First Hill. The published visitor rates are $8 for 0-2 hours, $12 for 2:01-4 hours, $18 for 4:01-8 hours, $24 for 24 hours, and $8 after 5 p.m. (seattleu.edu). Those figures are useful as a benchmark when weighing a shopping-center or city-operated car park for a campus visit.
A parking information page for the athletic venue gives a different event arrangement: parking is $25, permits are honored until 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and 2.5 hours before weekend tipoff, and parking is free at the park (goseattleu.com). These rules apply to the event parking information rather than the regular visitor schedule.
