Square One Books
I just wanted to make a slight clarification about the Jefferson Square parking lot. As a business owner in Jefferson Square, I know the lot is definitely not a West Seattle favorite. I understand! However, it was mentioned that there is a 2 hour limit. It changed from 2 hours to 3 hours about 2 years ago. If you got a ticket for parking for less than 3 hours recently, I would try to fight it. Linda, you mentioned you were at my store-let me know if I can help you-I don’t want my customers to get a ticket. However, I believe the lot needs to be monitored. Otherwise, people park here for extended periods of time which makes the parking situation worse as there are less spaces available. Also, if the lot was not monitored, Jefferson Square businesses’ employees would park here which would again make fewer spaces available for patrons. I do think 3 hours should be enough time for people to do what they need to in Jefferson Square. There is a lot below if you need to be here longer and you can pay accordingly. Lastly, the lot is often virtually empty during the weekdays between 10-4.I have a good view of it out my window. If you can come here then, you should have a more pleasant parking experience.
