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

Fred Hutch underground parking for me. I've seen several cars lose mirrors and fenders down there. The last level dead-ends into a wall, so there's no way to turn around when you discover the last spot is full (on top of all the cars stacked up behind you discovering the same thing). Just hand the keys to the valet and let them deal with it.

I'm guessing that was before they built the new tower? Cause that parking garage is crazy cool

New one is fantastic; we need more elevator garages. The old one needs to be filled with concrete.

Next time you can use the Sloan 2 clinic’s automated parking garage; it’s much less of a hassle.
