Redmond generally allows overnight residential street parking within the 72-hour continuous-parking limit. Downtown time zones, snow events, and posted no-parking signs override the default.
There is no blanket overnight parking ban in Redmond residential neighborhoods; on-street parking overnight is permitted as long as the vehicle is moved at least every 72 hours per RCW 46.55 and Redmond Municipal Code Title 10, is not within posted no-parking zones, and is currently licensed and operable. Downtown Redmond around Cleveland Street, the Redmond Town Center, and Overlake impose time-limited zones that can apply 24 hours a day or during marked enforcement hours. Neighborhoods near the Microsoft campus, Redmond Technology Station, and Downtown light-rail station use Residential Parking Zones requiring permits overnight. Snow or flood events along Bear Creek and the Sammamish River may trigger temporary no-parking to allow plowing or emergency access. Public parks, trailheads along the Sammamish River Trail, and school lots typically prohibit overnight parking.
