Bellevue Parking Guide About Bellevue

Bellevue is a city in the Eastside region of King County, Washington, United States, across Lake Washington from Seattle. Bellevue was founded in 1869 by William Meydenbauer and was officially incorporated on March 21, 1953. Bellevue is the main Eastside hub for both the local transit authority, King County Metro, and Sound Transit, the regional transit system.

Bellevue is now home to the headquarters of many small and large businesses, many of which are technology companies that started in the 1990s. The city has numerous thriving commercial districts, including three major shopping centers aside from Bellevue Square: Factoria Mall to the South, Crossroads Mall to the East, and the Overlake Shopping District in the North.

Parking in Bellevue Residential parking management addresses neighborhood concerns with non-resident vehicles parked in neighborhoods adjacent to businesses, schools and other public facilities. This program has two components:

Residential Permit Parking Zones (RPZ) A Residential Permit Parking Zone is an area established by a city ordinance to restrict non-residential parking on neighborhood streets. Residents and their guests are exempt from the restrictions if they are parking legally and displaying a RPZ permit. See below for RPZ Frequently Asked Questions.

General Parking Restrictions With General Parking Restrictions, no permits are issued. All vehicles, including residents and their guests, are not allowed to park on the street during the time indicated. If residents in a neighborhood do not need on-street parking during the day, general parking restrictions are the best option because they are easier to enforce.
