Pullman to hike parking fees

As of July 1, Pullman parking fines will follow a new, progressive fine structure. For example, downtown overtime parking fines are currently $10, but will increase to $30 for the first violation, $50 for a second violation, and $100 for a third, according to Chief Gary Jenkins.

Violators will be eligible for early payment discounts, allowing first-time offenders to save 50 percent. Conversely, payments made later than 14 days from the infraction date will be subject to an additional 50 percent penalty.
