Seattle Parking Tickets

The Municipal Court of Seattle administers parking tickets issued by the Seattle Police Department on behalf of the city of Seattle. Within fifteen days of receiving a parking ticket, you must either pay for the ticket or request a hearing regarding the ticket. You can pay Seattle parking tickets online, by phone, or in person at the Courthouse or one of several Neighborhood Centers. If you wish to dispute a parking ticket that you have received, or to explain your reasons for parking illegally, you can request a hearing before a Municipal Court Magistrate. You can request two different types of hearings. If you request a mitigation hearing, you are admitting that you violated a parking law, but you are allowed to explain why you parked illegally, or to otherwise explain your actions. On the other hand, if you believe that you have been wrongfully issued a parking ticket, you can request a hearing to dispute the ticket.
