The Port of Everett’s comprehensive waterfront Parking Management Program balances the diverse parking demands of site users from waterfront visitors and boaters to business patrons and special event attendees, while providing consistency in parking rates and permit structure site wide.
The Program provides two (2) hours of free parking in designated Visitor Parking each day, year-round (except during select special events) with pay-to-park thereafter. The first 2 hours free parking benefit extends to Jetty Landing Park, which was historically $3 to park. A variety of convenient, cashless pay options for Visitor and Special Event Parking include web, mobile phone application, text-to-pay, and walk up pay stations in several locations. Additionally, long-term parking options have been established for visitors needing to park longer (no parking may exceed 29 days). The Port’s on-site parking operator, LAZ Parking, monitors and enforces all parking zones and types using advanced license plate reader and online pay monitoring technology.

ABOUT THE PARKING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Efforts to improve the waterfront parking experience have been underway since 2018, in consultation with previous and current parking management operators Diamond Parking and LAZ Parking, as well as industry parking expert, Walker Parking. Program implementation was phased over a three-year period while the Port worked to better understand the historical use, parking habits and counts, and contractual obligations of all site parking, as well as to incorporate community and stakeholder input. This led to optimizing parking zones, clarifying parking signage, improving ADA parking facilities, and facilitating convenient pay options to best support the needs of all site users.
