Planning
Please plan to get to campus well ahead of your class start time to allow time to find a space. Be sure to not park in faculty/staff only sections, carpool, or disability accessible spaces unless your permit authorizes you to do so. Parking rules are enforced 24/7.
Parking Citations
The Washington Administrative Code 478-117 and 132Z-116 authorizes Bothell Campus Commuter Services to enforce all parking and traffic regulations on campus.
Pay or Appeal Your Citation
Parking citations can be paid or appealed prior to the deadline written on the violation ticket. Submit an appeal or make payment online via the Bothell Campus Parking Portal.
If you wish to further contest your appeal decision, you have 21 days from your appeal decision date to request a review. Submit a written statement via email to uwbpark@uw.edu with the subject "Request Review of Appeal".
Failure to Pay Fines
Failure to pay fines may result in vehicle immobilization, vehicle impoundment, and/or suspension of campus parking privileges. Citations not paid or appealed within 21 days will be assessed a one-time late fee of $10.00. Further action regarding the citation after it has been sent to collections must be through the collections agency. For more information, visit Univeristy of Washington Bothell's Pay / Appeal Citations page.
Suspension of Parking Privileges
The Washington Administrative Code 478-117-310 and 132Z-116-310 authorizes Commuter Services to deny parking privileges on UW Bothell / Cascadia College property for individuals who do not pay their outstanding citations.
Parking a vehicle on campus while parking privileges are suspended will result in vehicle immobilization (boot/wheel lock) and/or vehicle impoundment, even if parked with an otherwise valid permit or payment. Immobilization or impoundment does not remove the obligation for payment of fines associated with parking violations.
Vehicle Immobilization / Wheel Lock
Any vehicle with an accumulation of four or more unpaid parking citations is subject to the placement of a vehicle boot. To have an immobilization device removed, outstanding citations must be paid in full.
Carpool Program
Cascadia students, faculty and staff are eligible to participate. Carpool priority parking is available at the North and South parking garages. Carpool groups must be traveling to campus a minimum of 2 days a week together and must have matching schedules of 2.5 hours to each other. The carpool permit is only valid for one vehicle parked on campus at a time. If a secondary vehicle from the group must park on the same day, that vehicle will need to make payment for parking through the pay station or pay-by-phone service.
Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations
Electric car charging stations are available in various campus locations. The North garage stations are on street level. South garage stations are on parking level three and four. West garage charging stations are on levels one, two, and three. The Discovery Hall parking area has chargers located near the Truly House. Vehicles must have a valid permit while parked or charging on campus.
Community Van Program

Off-campus Parking
Students, faculty, and staff represent Cascadia College/UW Bothell. If parking off‐campus, we ask that you be courteous to and conscious of our community neighbors. This includes, but is not limited to, leaving room for residents to turn out of their driveways; not parking in front of fire hydrants or mailboxes, and taking all your trash with you. It is important that we are good neighbors. For complete rules and applicable statues, see Parking and Traffic Rules for Cascadia College of the Washington Administrative Code.
