How to Display your Permit

  •  North Seattle College students, faculty and staff and employees of the Opportunity Center: Hang parking permits from rear view mirror facing outward, or placed—visibly—face up on dashboard.  If needed, secure permits on dash with tape or other adhesive to prevent misplacement.  Permit number and current dates must be clearly visible. Vehicles should be locked to prevent theft and vandalism.
  • Students, faculty, staff and guests or clients with disabled placards/ license plates:  a state-issued disability permit is required. Students displaying a disabled placard are allowed to park in these areas at these times: 1) anywhere in the Carpool (West) Lot at any time, if other disabled spaces are full; 2) in the garage at any time, but only in disabled or carpool spaces; 3) disabled spaces in the East lots located in front of the Wellness Center, Education Building, Opportunity Center for Employment & Education, and in front of the Childcare Center in the North Lot.  Remember: permits must be clearly displayed.

Please Note:  Violators of these regulations and those of the City of Seattle are subject to citations and impound.
