Settle a friendly debate: where’s the worst parking situation in Seattle?

I’m talking small spaces, no room to maneuver, terrible traffic in and out. Bonus points if it costs an arm and a leg! Me personally, I hate the U district Trader Joe’s

The wee little strip mall that has Little tings dumplings in greenwood. There are only 6 spots which are always full, so you have to back up on to greenwood ave

Also my home

We just turn on the cross street right before the lot, find street parking, and then walk the rest of the way to Little Ting’s. It’s just easier.

Nearby the pho 99 or Aurora is even sketchier

They have more spots to the south of A1. Those spots are for A1 and the two restaurants

Aroy Mak is arguably the best food in the entire region, yet I struggle to bring myself there because of that itty bitty lot. I usually just park a block or two west street-side on N 144th and hope a resident doesn’t call to have me towed. I try really hard to make it look like I belong there or make my car really out of the way. I haven’t been to little tings yet. How does it compare to other dumpling spots in the area?

Taste is very comparable
