PARKING PERMITS FOR DOWNTOWN EMPLOYEES
To help ensure that patrons have the best parking spaces, downtown employees are encouraged to park at the Peter Kirk Municipal Garage (library garage). Downtown employee parking permits are available at no charge. The garage is located at the southwest corner of Peter Kirk Park on the corner of Third Street and Kirkland Avenue in downtown Kirkland. There are 217 permit stalls located in the basement, ramp and one aisle on the upper level. Please watch for signs that designate specific permit parking spaces. After 6:00 pm, all garage parking stalls are open to all, without time limit restrictions.
Parking permits can be obtained at City Hall's Public Works counter. For more information, please call 425.587.3871.
What if an employee wants to park in the downtown core?
Monday through Saturday, most on-street parking is limited to 2-hours. Park and Main lot has all day pay parking at $1/hr from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Downtown employees are prohibited to park at the Lake & Central and Marina Park parking lots from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Overtime parking fines start at $35, and subsequent fines are $50 to $75.
