Washington Truck Parking Study Data
Washington truck parking data for stronger DOT proposals
Get verified inventory, shortage screening, corridor context, and proposal-ready outputs without rebuilding the analysis from scratch.
Why it matters: Better parking evidence makes unmet demand and investment priorities easier to defend.

Mountain-pass pressure shapes the network
Washington’s strongest parking pressure follows I-5, I-90, I-82, the Seattle freight network, and major mountain-pass corridors.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 65.7% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 32.8% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $25.80 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 1,667 hexagons:
- 132 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 115 demand grids: modeled demand exists without an official parking location.
Why this matters in a competitive DOT proposal
Typical approach
- Unscreened facility lists
- No distinction between usable and incidental parking
- Weak mountain-pass and corridor narrative
- Limited support for investment prioritization

Reality check
Counts differ across sources because inclusion rules differ. Public totals and Trucking Lab numbers are complementary — one gives statewide context, the other gives usable supply.
Common questions
How many truck parking spaces are in Washington?
Trucking Lab includes 3,013 private spaces across 97 locations and 1,028 public spaces across 100 locations.
Where are the main pressure areas?
I-5, I-90, I-82, the Seattle-connected freight network, and major mountain-pass corridors carry the strongest pressure.
What is the main parking issue?
Corridor and mountain-pass overcrowding combines with limited private parking near Seattle and informal ramp parking.
Why do parking totals differ?
Sources apply different inclusion rules. Trucking Lab focuses on supply suitable for freight planning.
