Does anyone know of any inexpensive parking garages reasonably close to the convention centre?
The going rate so far is between $32 and $41 per 24 hours.

Are you going in and out every day, or do you need to park for a week? I saw some signs for "early bird specials" of like $8.50 for the day if you arrived early enough (before 8am? before 9am?). There are tons of parking places near the convention center just based on my cab ride and 2 block walk. So you can cruise around looking for parking too. I imagine most are about the same price though.

The NABC site claims that "Standard Parking" is $12 for 12 hours or $24 for 24 hours if you show your convention card. Address:
Standard Parking (nearby parking garage):

1508 7th Avenue
Seattle, WA

With your convention card you receive discounted parking of $12 for 12 hours ($24 for 24 hours).

Thanks. We are looking for parking for the week and will take a look at this "Standard Parking" deal.

Hi Kathryn, why do you need a car while in town? I guess it's probably best to park out of town and then take the bus into town? That's what I would do. Perhaps that is a European way to do things but I found it's a very European city :)

Hi :) I don't, I'm busing from Vancouver on Sunday.($70 return) The question is for one of my partners who is coming from another location and has recently had knee replacement surgery.
