Directions/parking to various campus locations
http://www.washington.edu/admin/parking/directions/
Public parking on campus is limited and all parking at the UW is provided on a
space-available basis. Cost and availability vary depending on the time of day.
Weekday parking ( 6:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.)
On weekdays, parking spaces are in especially high demand in South Campus. There are several parking lots on campus within a 15 minute walk (approximately) from the Health Sciences building; these lots are more likely to have space available.
Unless otherwise noted, parking in UW lots costs $9.00/day with a prorated refund for users who park fewer than 4 hours. Be sure to stop at the gatehouse upon exit to get your partial refund, if you qualify for one.

Parking is generally free after noon on Saturdays and all day on Sunday and University holidays and holiday weekends.

To access the S1 garage, follow above directions to 15th Ave NE. At bottom of the hill, go through NE Pacific Street and continue on 15th Ave NE as it curves left instead of turning left onto NE Pacific Street.
