Parking around Seattle Art Museum is no easy challenge. The main museum at 1300 First Avenue is in the middle of Seattle’s busy downtown, right next to the city’s biggest attractions like the Pike Place Market and Elliot Bay waterfront. The Seattle Art Museum features art collections, temporary and special exhibits from around the world, drawing a significant number of visitors annually. It’s open on the weekends, and the visitor count peaks during afternoons – which is the same for most of the other downtown attractions.
You’ll have no trouble finding your way to the Seattle Art Museum. There is an on-site parking garage, while discounted parking is also available at an off-site parking facility, only a short walk away. While you’ll find street parking nearby, there’s no guarantee you can park instantly. Also, metered parking comes with 2-4-hour time limits. Drive-up rates at off-street parking facilities in the neighborhood are expensive. But there’s one way to get around it; pre-book your parking near Seattle Art Museum for the lowest rates available. Use Way.com or the Way app to find the best Seattle Art Museum parking deals and get extra discounts when you book a spot early.
