We’ve tried to collect some info below about parking in the area.
Parking UW Campus
The 3 UW lots of interest are shown on the western part of this UW campus overview map – http://www.washington.edu/maps/ We surveyed these lots during the evening (weekdays) and found an abundance of parking.
Self Service Lots – Apparently just raised the rate to $4.00/hr (Possibly less in the evening) – https://transportation.uw.edu/files/media/UW-Campus-Map-Self-Serve-Lots-All-20190701.jpg Shows W10, W12, & W41. Note that most of the other lots shown are committed to residential housing…)
Lot W10, 1084 Cowlitz Rd. NE (S. of Lincoln Way, N. of NR Cowlitz Rd. Enter from Cowlitz Pl NE – click on W10 to get a blow up of the vicinity
Lot W 12, 3940 Brooklyn Ave NE (N. of Burke Gilman trail, E of Brooklyn Ave NE. Enter from Brooklyn – click on W10 to get a blow up of the vicinity
Parking is not enforced and is thus complimentary at the self-help lots after 9 PM weekdays, after noon on Sat. and all day Sunday.

Permit lot
We believe it is $6.00 in the evening, but you have to get a permit for it. Parking is not enforced all day Sunday, and after 12 noon on Saturday so that parking is free. University Friends uses lot 41 for their Sunday meetings.
