Summary

Everett doesn't ban overnight parking outright, but no vehicle may sit in one spot on a city street or right-of-way for more than 72 continuous hours, and storing a vehicle on-street is barred outright.

No person shall park any vehicle at the same location on any city street or other public right-of-way within the city for more than seventy-two continuous hours without driving the vehicle through or across a street intersection. If the vehicle being parked in violation of this subsection is subject to a more restrictive statute or ordinance, the statute or ordinance with the more restrictive time period controls.

C. No person shall store any vehicle on any city street or other public right-of-way within the city. (Ord. 2826-05 § 8, 2005; Ord. 2180-96 § 22, 1996.)

Full Breakdown

Everett Municipal Code § 46.28.220 provides that no person shall park any vehicle at the same location on a city street or public right-of-way for more than 72 continuous hours without driving it through or across a street intersection; a vehicle covered by a more restrictive statute or ordinance is held to that shorter limit instead. The same section separately prohibits storing any vehicle on a city street or right-of-way at all, regardless of the 72-hour clock. There's no blanket ban on parking overnight: the rule targets vehicles left stationary for days, not cars parked overnight and moved the next day.

Violations & Fines

Leaving a vehicle parked in the same spot on a city street or right-of-way for more than 72 continuous hours, or using a public street to store a vehicle, violates EMC § 46.28.220 and is enforced as a parking infraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a set overnight parking curfew in Everett?
No citywide overnight curfew: the operative limit is EMC § 46.28.220's 72-continuous-hour rule for the same parking spot on a street or right-of-way.
How do I avoid a 72-hour violation?
Move the vehicle through or across a street intersection before the 72 hours elapse; simply repositioning within the same block does not reset the clock.
