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 are dissatisfied with the adjudication of your appeal, you have 21 days to request a review of your written decision. 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 parking privileges on campus. If an extended period of time passes where a citation has not yet been paid, then a late fee will be assessed and it is subject to be sent to a collections agency. Any further actions 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 Commuter Services Citation webpage.

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 violators who do not pay their citations within the specified timeframe.

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 boot removed, first settle outstanding citations, then contact Campus Safety at 425-352-5359.

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 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 the North and South garages. The North garage stations are on street level. South garage stations are on parking level three. Vehicles must have a valid permit. Quarterly and annual parking permits are only available online. Hourly and daily permits should be purchased at pay stations near parking lot entrances/exits or by using the PayByPhone app.

Community Van Program

This is a rideshare program brought to you by King County and participating cities to provide community members with a new way to share the ride. UW Bothell is partnering with the Cities of Bothell and Woodinville to bring the Community Van Program to the Bothell Woodinville area.

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.
