Downtown Kirkland Parking
Finding a place to leave your car takes practice in Kirkland. Parking times are meticulously enforced in the downtown area, and in some cases done the old-fashioned way: If there's a bright yellow line chalked on one of your rear tires, you've been red-flagged. When the troops come back 2-4 hours later (depending where you parked) patrolling in their little carts and see a car still there with that ill-fated chalk mark, cha-ching, you know you should have moved the car to avoid getting a ticket. But at least the pay parking here, at $1/hr, is more affordable than in downtown Seattle, where a quarter only buys you 10 minutes. Psst... the Municipal Parking Garage under the Kirkland Library gives you 4 hours of free parking, or if you must, all day parking for only $5.
