Parking on Evergreen's Olympia Campus
This year, Parking Services has transitioned to a new system for parking permits on campus. On September 27th, parking permits will be required Monday through Friday, 7am-9pm, year round for all vehicles and motorcycles parking on campus. There is no charge to park on Saturdays or Sundays, however, all other parking rules apply during weekends and on holidays.
Parking Services has a Pay-By-Plate system. Purchase your parking permit and register your vehicle's license plate number. Once registered, vehicles parking on campus will no longer have a parking decal to indicate parking privileges. Parking privileges are identified by license plates, rather than a physical decal or parking pass. Hourly or daily parking permits can be purchased at the Parking Payment Kiosks located in Lot B, Lot C, and Lot F and vehicles will be identified by license plate too.
If you do receive a ticket, please pay your ticket via postal mail or at the Parking Booth drop box at the main entrance to campus. For parking business please email parking@evergreen.edu or leave a message at (360) 867-6352.
