Parking Rules: Edmonds vs Marysville

How many parking spaces does a short-term rental in Edmonds need?

Edmonds has no dedicated STR parking schedule. The closest analog is the bed-and-breakfast standard in ECDC 20.23, which requires one off-street space per rental bedroom (in all zones except Downtown Business), plus the underlying single-family or multifamily minimum from ECDC 17.50.020. Confirm the specific number for your zone and listing with Planning & Development at 425-771-0220.

Can my Edmonds STR guests park on the street?

Generally yes, on legal public streets, and adjacent on-street spaces may be counted toward the analogous B&B parking requirement under ECDC 20.23. However, posted residential parking zones, signed time limits, snow/leaf-removal restrictions, and HOA rules apply, and guests must not block sidewalks, driveways or fire lanes.

Do downtown Edmonds STR units have to provide off-street parking?

Inside the Downtown Business (BD) zones, ECDC 20.23's one-space-per-rental-room requirement does not apply, and the area relies on shared and on-street parking. Hosts should still confirm current zoning parking minimums with Edmonds Planning at 425-771-0220.

How many parking spaces does my Marysville short-term rental need?

Marysville does not have a stand-alone STR parking standard, so the underlying residential minimum in MMC 22C.130 applies, typically two off-street stalls for a single-family dwelling. Bed and breakfast guesthouses operating under MMC 22C.210 must add one stall per guest room. Confirm current ratios with Marysville Community Development at 360-363-8100.

Can my STR guests park on the street in Marysville?

Yes, on legal public-street spaces that comply with MMC Title 10. Vehicles cannot block driveways, hydrants, mailboxes, or sidewalks, and most residential streets prohibit storing a vehicle in one spot for more than 24 continuous hours. Subdivisions with HOA covenants may impose additional restrictions.
