Community Parking Program
West Seattle Junction

Updated October 6, 2009

SDOT’s Community Parking Program has been comprehensively studying parking in the West Seattle Junction (WSJ) this year. SDOT continues to actively engage with WSJ stakeholders in reviewing study findings and drafting recommendations.

Now that data findings are available for the WSJ, SDOT is looking at what parking management tools might be used to improve parking management in the area. Community members have been working with SDOT to review and analyze the data. This process helps inform the proposals SDOT makes. Residents will receive a mailed version of preliminary recommendations for WSJ. To view the recommendations online, click here.

Highlights of this data have been shared with the community and are available here. You can also view the entire parking study report here. Maps of how full parking is on a weekday at 5am, 10am, 12pm and 2pm are available below. If you have questions on the parking project, feel free to contact us at the number or email below.

Transit Improvements Coming to West Seattle

The City of Seattle and King County Metro Transit are working together to create transit improvements for West Seattle. Metro's RapidRide bus rapid transit is scheduled to begin service in 2011. RapidRide is designed to connect communities and keep people moving quickly throughout the day in the heavily used transit corridor. These transit improvements are made possible by the Bridging the Gap and Metro's "Transit Now" voter-approved funding measures.
