Parking Options at UWMC
Residents and fellows are given several parking options to choose from when at UWMC.
Pay-Per-Use Parking (PPUP) Program (RECOMMENDED)
The Pay-Per-Use Parking (PPUP) program is charged through payroll deduction. If you are not eligible for payroll deduction, a Husky Card Account may be used as a payment option (the Husky Card Account must be established at least 24-hours prior to signing up for PPUP). Once signed-up with UW Commuter Services, you may enter the garage by swiping your UW Husky ID Card - charges are tabulated each pay-period based on usage. This parking program allows same-day in-&-out privileges (for single entry only, not available for carpools) and must be renewed at the end of June each year. Parking is available in both the Portage Bay Parking Facility and the Montlake (E-1) lot.
How much does PPUP cost?
- Up to 4 days per pay period: $5
- 5 or more days per pay period, including first 4 days: $7.05
S-1 Lot
Located behind UWMC. On-call residents/fellows may park here at no charge from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, and from 12:00 noon Saturday to 6:00 a.m. Monday. If you arrive prior to 9 p.m., work beyond 6 a.m. Monday, or arrive prior to noon on Saturday, you must pay for parking, move your vehicle to the Portage Bay Parking Facility if you are a UW PPUP member, or move to a permit lot (if you have a quarterly permit). If you have a valid, solid-colored HMC permit (not PPUP or on-call) you may park in S-1 at no additional charge after 4 p.m. weekdays, or anytime during the weekends.
Triangle Garage (Home-call Only)
Located across the street from UWMC. Residents/fellows can park here at no charge when called into the hospital while on home-call on nights and weekends only. Please refer to the parking policy for home-call for specifics including areas of the garage where you are permitted to park.
Note on HMC Parking Permits
Parking privileges on the UW Seattle main campus are not granted to holders of Harborview permits with horizontal stripes (on-call and PPUP); if you have a Harborview permit with horizontal stripes, you must stop at a campus gatehouse and purchase a Daily permit. Holders of other types of Harborview parking permits have limited parking privileges on the UW Seattle main campus: parking in S-1, E-10, and E-12 only, on a space-available basis, between 4:00 pm and 7:30 am weekdays and on weekends.
Where to obtain a UWMC Parking Permit, U-PASS or PPUP Membership
