Parking Problems
- For parking problems that create a safety hazard, such as blocking a fire hydrant or impeding traffic, please call 911.
- To report on-going parking problems or abandoned vehicles, you can leave a message at 425-744-6254 with detailed information about the vehicle and the location.
- Please note that owners are given 72 hours to move a vehicle to avoid fines or towing so a vehicle may not move for a few days before action can be taken.
Parking Fines
- Parking violations are $50.00. If paid within 72 business hours, the fine is reduced by one-half.
- Fines must be paid within 15 days. After 15 days, the fine is doubled. Violations are sent to Collections after an additional 15 days if not paid.
- You may request a Hearing within 15 days of parking fine being issued. Hearings are held at the Mountlake Terrace Police Department every other month with a Hearing Examiner presiding.
Towed Vehicles
