The parking spaces available on college properties shall be assigned by the executive vice president of operations, or designee, in a manner which will best attain the objectives of these regulations. The facilities services department is authorized to mark various parking areas on college property with numbers or titles or by posting signs, or marking the pavement.
Open parking - Open parking is limited to those parking areas not otherwise marked as reserved for faculty/staff, people with disabilities, special use, service vehicle, or visitor. Users of open parking are not required to display a parking permit.
Faculty/staff parking - Faculty, staff and administrators using college-owned or leased parking facilities between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays during fall, winter, and spring quarters are to purchase parking permits. The purchase of a permit for designated parking does not ensure the regular availability of a parking space.
Faculty/staff parking spaces are marked on the pavement with an F/S. Only college employee vehicles displaying a valid parking permit may park in faculty/staff parking spaces. Faculty/staff parking spaces shall be considered open parking spaces from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and on weekends during fall, winter, and spring quarters, and at all times during summer quarter.
Visitor parking - All visitors, including guests, salespersons, maintenance or service personnel and all other members of the public, may park on college property in open parking, in designated special use visitor zones, or as directed by the security and safety department.
Use of vehicle as habitation - No vehicle or vehicle trailer may be used as a place of habitation on any college facility without permission from the security and safety department.
Accessible parking - Accessible parking spaces, parking spaces for use by a vehicle displaying a valid accessible parking permit, may be occupied only by vehicles displaying a valid temporary parking permit issued by the college or a valid permanent or temporary permit issued by the state of Washington in compliance with RCW
46.16.381 and
46.16.390. Temporary parking permits are available in health services. Valid parking permits issued by other states will be honored.
If all accessible parking spaces are occupied, those with a valid, properly displayed placard or permit may also park in metered parking spaces without paying for time parked in the space. If all accessible parking spaces and metered spaces are occupied, those with a valid, properly displayed placard, or permit, may park in faculty/staff spaces.
Motorcycle parking - Motorcycle parking zones are reserved for motorcycles and motor-driven cycles. Motorcycles are to occupy those areas designated for motorcycle parking specifically.
Service vehicle parking - Service vehicle parking zones are limited to use by authorized college service or contractor vehicles only.
Electric vehicle charging stations – These spaces are for the specific purpose of charging electric vehicles. These areas are designated by green paint on the pavement in accordance with RCW
46.08.185(1). These are not parking spaces. Those using charging stations are expected to remove their vehicles immediately after the vehicle has been charged. The use of charging equipment outside of the designated charging station area is prohibited and is subject to citation and fine.
