Parking on the UW Campus

The University of Washington encourages you to join its efforts to improve traffic conditions and to protect the environment. Please consider using an alternative to driving alone to get to any campus event. Options include using the bus or sharing the ride. Before parking on campus, stop and purchase a parking permit from a gatehouse. The daily parking fee is $11/day between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays. Stop at a gatehouse as you exit campus for a prorated refund if you paid with cash and you were parked on campus less than 4 hours. An evening rate begins at 4 p.m. and is $5/evening. A weekend rate of $5 is also required for parking on Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon.
