The Seattle City Council looks ready to raise parking fines by $4 this afternoon. They've got a full docket, including several bills intended to balance the anemic budget. This bill, which raises parking infraction fees across the board, is one of the strategies to raise revenue instead of cutting human services. Assuming the council passes the bill, running overtime in a parking spot will increase to $39 and parking at a bus stop will rise to $42. Plus, the council is hiring five more parking enforcement officers to ticket your ass.
