South Seattle College (SSC) has announced a community discussion scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, February 4, 2026, to address growing concerns regarding long-term vehicle parking in the Puget Ridge neighborhood.

The meeting comes after the City of Seattle contacted the college to explore the possibility of installing parking restrictions along a specific portion of 16th Ave SW located directly in front of the campus. The goal of the gathering is to bring together campus members and local neighbors to evaluate potential solutions for the area.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from representatives of the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and the Unified Care Team. These officials will provide insights into their current work and present possible strategies for managing the parking situation. Following these presentations, the floor will open for a community conversation, allowing residents and students to ask questions, share personal experiences, and offer feedback on their preferred solutions to both the city and the college.

Meeting Details:

• Date: Wednesday, February 4, 2026

• Time: 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

• Location: South Seattle College Main Campus, Cascade Hall (CAH), Room 107

• Address: 6000 16th Ave SW, West Seattle, WA 98106

For those driving to the event, the college has noted that parking will be free in the North Parking Lot, which is the closest lot to Cascade Hall.
