No more free parking in downtown Bellingham as the coronavirus waiver ends. Here’s when
Unlimited free parking in downtown Bellingham and Fairhaven will end at the end of September, the city said in a statement Thursday, Sept. 17.
Paid parking and time limits are usually enforced from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, but those have been waived since March because of the new coronavirus pandemic.
Fees will be required again starting Oct. 1, the statement said.
Paid public parking and time-limited parking are not enforced on city holidays.
Metered parking can be paid with coins, the PayByPhone app or at pay stations.
Revenue parking is used for cleaning, landscaping and other improvements in the downtown and Fairhaven business districts.
