Parking and Transportation

Campus Safety and Security is charged with the responsibility of establishing rules and regulations for pedestrian, vehicular, and non-vehicular traffic on property owned, operated, and/or maintained by the College. Parking and traffic laws are granted to the college by RCW 28B.50.140 (10) to provide a fair and uniform method of regulating such rules and regulations. Failure to abide by these laws may result in a fine, as well as being considered a violation of the code of student conduct.

Parking after 4:00 p.m. M-F, and during weekends, holidays, and campus closures is free, and students can park in staff lots during those times.

Quarterly parking permits are required for all students who wish to park on campus during daytime hours. One pre-purchased student permit allows students to park on campus in all student lots. The fee is $45 plus tax per quarter. Permits can be purchased at the Cashier’s Office (2nd floor of the 5000 building, price is subject to change.) Purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space. Student parking permits must hang from the vehicle’s rear view mirror facing outward in order to be valid.

For vehicles transporting two or more students at the same time, a limited number of carpool permits are available at the Safety & Security Department, room 5102. Carpool permits are free of charge and allow parking in the Greenwood Parking Lot only.

Motorcycles and bicycles must park in designated areas only. Please obtain a parking lot map at shoreline.edu/safetyandsecurity to locate the appropriate parking area for your cycle. Motorcycles do not need a parking permit.

Disabled parking is available on campus. A valid Washington State disabled parking placard is required to park in disabled parking spaces.

There is no student parking allowed at any time in the Visitor Lot. Students parking in the Visitor Lot will be cited. Multiple unpaid violations will result in your vehicle being impounded (towed).

Illegal parking will result in fines and/or having a vehicle impounded (towed). It is illegal at all times to park in roadways, fire lanes, bus zones, loading zones, on walkways or pedestrian paths, landscaped areas, curbs zoned with red, areas with “No Parking” signs, or in service driveways. Other violations that may result in a vehicle being impounded include: blocking a fire hydrant, blocking another legally parked car, double parking, parking in a marked tow away zone, or having outstanding unpaid citations at the College. Fines are payable at the Cashier’s Office. If there is reason to believe a ticket was unjustified, a citation appeal form can be obtained at campus Safety & Security (5102). Appeals must be filed within 5 working days of the date on the ticket; after that time the fine must be paid and cannot be appealed. For further assistance with parking, citations, appeals, and questions, please contact the Safety & Security Department at (206) 546-4633 or stop in Room 5102, Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Suggestions for Easier Parking

The Greenwood Avenue North lower lot usually has parking available throughout the day.

• Consider taking classes in the afternoon and at night, when parking is readily available and free. Please be considerate of our surrounding community by adhering to the speed limits, not parking in residential neighborhoods, and keeping all of our streets free of litter.
