Renton, WA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Renton does not impose a citywide overnight on-street parking ban in residential neighborhoods, unlike some Puget Sound cities. Vehicles may park overnight on residential streets as long as they comply with the 72-hour maximum in one spot under RCW 46.55 and RMC Chapter 10-10, do not block driveways or hydrants, and are not within 20 feet of crosswalks or 30 feet of stop signs. Downtown Renton has time-limited zones that typically end by evening, and parking near The Landing and other commercial districts may be signed with no overnight parking where private property is involved. Transit park-and-ride lots operated by Sound Transit and King County Metro, such as the Renton Transit Center, usually prohibit overnight parking under their own rules. RV and oversized vehicle overnight parking is more heavily restricted. Renton Police enforce complaint-based citations and can investigate vehicles suspected of being used for habitation, which is addressed under separate provisions. Report problem parking at (425) 430-7500.
