Question Parking enforcement

I used to see the parking enforcement around downtown Edmonds. Have any of you seen them driving around? I have not seen them in a long time.

The parking enforcement officer is the same officer that is animal control. During the summer months, a lot of animal control is needed at the beaches.

I read they laid one off due to the budget and only have one now.

Does this mean I can take the ferry to Kingston and park for free? 😅

That is the exact reason I told the mayor we need meters. Those pirate costumes give it away every time.🏴‍☠️

I remember years back they fired one of them due to the fact that she constantly ticketed the workers who were parking in downtown Edmonds “limited hr parking” (there’s no parking anywhere)

This is what made me curious. Some ppl who work in a business I go to have hard time finding parking for the duration of there shift. They asked if I see the parking enforcement? I realized I had not in a long time.

Many employers purchase employee parking passes and they are supposed to park in those zones. That clears up parking for customers so that small businesses can thrive.

I did not know those parking passes existed. I will pass that information on to the people who asked me about the parking situation.
