And of course, now that all the municipal ticketing agencies are tied into the State network, you can't just ignore the tickets anymore, since any unpaid fines will get flagged when your vehicle license renewal comes up. Technology is not ALWAYS used for teh good...

@ronspeno: I think the "every once in a while" is a fairly long while. It looks like the last two Seattle parking ticket amnesty months were in 1997 and 2004.

Here's an idea: Park at Pacific Place and walk the five or so odd blocks to the Cinerama. Sheesh.

I second John's comment. Even if you try to use the pay lot on 5th, it's often full because the theater is so huge, so all you've got is street parking. And the DARK KNIGHT is 2.5 hours! Add in the previews, and you're screwed.

The worst is parking tickets around the Cinerama. Your paying to see a two hour and ten minute movie, you pay the full amount the city allows you to pay to park on the street and you still get a ticket even though you are patronizing downtown businesses and paying the maximum amount allowed. I think around movie theatres there needs to be an exemption or at least some leinency. That's my whiny two cents.
