Find parking near Milepost 31

Milepost 31 is a small museum-style information center in Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square that was created to help visitors understand the State Route 99 tunnel project and the evolution of the waterfront and neighborhood. Surrounded by brick buildings, galleries, cafés, and other attractions, it draws both curious tourists and locals, which means nearby streets often feel busy with cars, delivery vehicles, and people on foot, especially during weekdays and event evenings.

Parking in this part of downtown is a mix of metered street spaces and paid lots, with strict time limits, active enforcement, and one-way streets that can make circling for a spot frustrating. Reserving parking near Milepost 31 ahead of time can reduce stress, help you avoid fines, and give you more time inside the exhibits or exploring the surrounding historic district instead of dealing with congestion. Because rules, prices, and regulations in Pioneer Square can change, visitors should always confirm current parking information and local restrictions with official and up-to-date sources before driving in.
