Traffic and Parking Procedures

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with SCDS's traffic and parking procedures. Please note that many of the procedures below are conditions of the Master Use Permit (MUP) granted by the City of Seattle. Failure to adhere to these conditions will jeopardize renewal of our MUP which must be granted annually for us to operate the school.

Traffic and Parking

• Drop-off and pick-up can only be made via the school driveway from 4th Avenue North.
  
• A left turn into the SCDS driveway is permitted on 4th Avenue North provided this does not cause undue back-up up the hill towards Queen Anne Drive.
  
• No parking, dropping off and/or picking up in the turnaround circle are allowed at anytime.
  
• All student loading and unloading is restricted to the drop-off and pick-up zone. Students may only exit and enter the vehicle from the passenger side.
  
• Please use the major arterial streets when coming to and leaving SCDS. This will help decrease traffic congestion on neighborhood streets.
  
• Please, no cell phone use during drop-off and pick-up.
  
• SCDS parking spaces are located within the school driveway and in the parking lot at the northwest corner of 4th Avenue North and Newell Street.
  
• Drivers may park in the gravel lot located at the corner of 4th Avenue North and Newell Street.
  
• When parking on residential streets, please remember to follow city regulations for parking on residential streets. Allow 5 feet between vehicles and driveways. Allow 30 feet between vehicles and intersections.
