High-traffic areas may cost more and low-traffic areas may be cheaper now.
The most expensive jumps are $6 an hour in the afternoon in Ballard and Columbia City, along with $6.50 during afternoons in Fremont and the Pike, Pine area of downtown.
The good news is that 14% of spots around the city will cost you 50 cents less an hour. The other 60% will see no change at all

“We use the latest available parking data to adjust parking rates and help provide spots around nearby businesses,” SDOT stated. “Rates generally increase where and when it’s hard to find an open parking space and decrease where parking spots are easier to find.”
