It will cost you as much as a Capitol Hill slice of pizza to park in the Pike/Pine nightlife district.
The city made its regular update to paid parking rates across Seattle this week with a few adjustments up and down in select neighborhoods including a few changes on Capitol Hill.
A notable upward revision was made for evening rates in Pike/Pine where officials have found no level so far that will sate a driver’s appetite.
Parking near the areas restaurants, bars, and nightclubs will now cost $8/hour, pushing the highest rate in the city up yet another notch.
While the mayor-elect campaigned on issues around affordability — and $8 pizza slices on Capitol Hill — it seems unlikely Katie Wilson will intervene at the meter. Her platform is focused on making it easier to bus and take light rail to the neighborhood, however.
The city’s latest rate changes went into effect Monday.
