3. Any person interfering with a college safety/security officer in the discharge of the provisions of these parking and traffic rules and regulations shall be in violation of chapter 9A.76 RCW; Obstructing governmental operation and may be subject to arrest by a peace officer under RCW9A.76.020

The campus parking lots are divided into two key areas, Employee parking, and Student parking. Within these two sections, the college also has designated parking areas, such as Disabled parking, Visitor parking, Day Care (20min), Motor Pool and Dental Hygiene parking. It is important for both staff and students to pay close attention to these areas; they are strictly enforced.

Below are just a few examples of signs you will see on our campus. Please pay close attention to regulatory signs and directions.

Speed: No vehicle shall be operated on the campus at a speed in excess of 15 miles per hour or such lower speed as is reasonable and prudent in the circumstances. No stopping, parking or passing is allowed in the perimeter road at any time.

Traffic accidents: Persons involved in traffic accidents on college property are encouraged to report the accident to the college safety/security department. An officer may be dispatched to file a report on the accident.

Traffic offenses: College safety/security officers may issue citations for any traffic offenses which are codified by the traffic laws of the state of Washington, traffic code of King County or the policy of the college. Due to the severe risk to public safety, traffic offenses do not require previous warning prior to the issuance of a citation.

Designated and assigned parking: Vehicles shall be parked on college property only in those areas set aside and designated as parking areas. In any area requiring a special parking permit, i.e. dental hygiene or cosmetology, no vehicle shall park without said permit. Parking is allowed in marked spaces only. Parking triangles, along roadways, or along parking lot curbing is prohibited.

Illegal parking: No person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle at any place where official signs, curb, or pavement markings prohibit parking, nor within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant or ten feet of any building, nor at any place for which the vehicle does not have a valid parking permit. Any vehicle not parked in a marked/designated parking stall shall be considered illegally parked.

Allocation of parking spaces: The parking spaces available on college properties shall be assigned by the college safety/security department in such a manner as will best meet the objectives of these regulations. The safety/security department is authorized to mark various parking areas on college property with numbers or titles or by posting of signs, curb, pavement markings, or traffic control devices.

Daily permits: Single day permits, valid the date of issuance, are available for $1.00 from the dispensers at all three entrances to Shoreline CC. These permits are valid for student parking lots only.

Parking permits: All vehicles must have a valid college parking permit, properly displayed, while parked on the campus. Student permits are not valid in the Visitors Lot. Vehicles parked in disabled person spaces must display a state-issued disabled placard or license plate and a Shoreline CC parking permit at all times.

Student parking spaces require a valid student quarter permit or a single day permit, Monday through Friday from 6:00am to 10:00pm (the college campus is closed from 10:00 pm to 6:00am). Student quarterly permits are available at the Cashiers Office in the 5000 building next to the registration area. Quarterly daytime permits are $25.00 and are valid 6:00am to 10:00pm. Quarterly evening permits are $10.00 and are valid after 4:00pm only.

Purchase of a parking permit does NOT guarantee a parking space. The responsibility for finding a legal parking space rests with the operator of the vehicle. Lack of space is not an excuse for illegal parking.

WAC 132G-116-205
Bicycle parking
Bicycles shall be parked in bicycle racks or other facilities provided for that purpose. At no time shall a bicycle be parked in a building, against a building, near a building exit, on a path or sidewalk, nor chained or otherwise secured to trees, lamp standards, or sign posts, nor parked in such a way as to obstruct access to any college property or to endanger any pedestrian right of way. Any bicycle found in violation of this section may be cited for illegal parking and impounded by the college safety/security department without warning. $25.00 fine

 I HAVE A MOTORCYCLE. WHERE DO I PARK? DO I NEED A PERMIT?

You must park in the designated motorcycle parking areas. They are located west of building 1700, near the stairway north of the 3000 building (gym). There is also a small motorcycle area near the entrance of the visitor lot, and the lower level 2000 building directly behind the smoke shelter. You do not need a permit, but if you are parked in a space other than a motorcycle area, you will be cited. $25.00 fine

No, you cannot park behind another car, even if you know the other person nor have class at the same time. Other people will see this and assume they can do the same because they don’t know your specific situation. Before long, people will be blocking in people they don’t know. This same rule applies to staff/faculty. The only area where people have been given permission to park like this is the staff area directly in front of the music building.

A note or a dollar bill left on your dash does not replace a valid permit. Valid permits are required on all vehicles on campus at all times. Vehicles without permits will be cited. If you have a special circumstance, you must come to the security office to discuss it with an officer. Exceptions may be made on a case-by case basis. Security personnel cannot accept money.

Quarterly permits are purchased at the Cashier’s Office in the FOSS building. Daily permits are purchased from the vending machines at the three entrances to the campus (main, east, and west). Each machine accepts dollar bills, dollar coins, quarters, nickels and dimes.

Quarterly permits are to hang from the rear view mirror of your car facing out, so the number can be seen. Please read the instruction sheet that accompanies your permit. Daily permits must be displayed right side up on your dashboard with the entire permit visible.

You must either purchase another quarterly permit or buy a daily permit for $1.00 per day at one of the permit machines.

If your permit was stolen, you must file a report with the security department. If your stolen pass is found on any vehicle on campus, that vehicle will be wheel-locked and issued a citation for illegal use of a stolen permit. To obtain another permit, you must go to the office of the Vice President for Student Services in the FOSS building.

No, if you are registered as a student during the current quarter, even if you are only taking on-line courses, you cannot park in the visitor’s lot. Students who do not have quarterly permits must purchase a daily permit each time they come to campus. Daily permits are only valid for student parking lots.

Students can park in the staff lots with a valid permit AFTER 4pm. Not before.
