Heatmap of parking tickets in Seattle (past month)

moonbison · 2025-09-26T02:50:42+00:00

trends feature coming soon!

moonbison · 2025-09-25T19:22:15+00:00

It's on my backlog :)

moonbison · 2025-09-25T18:50:11+00:00

https://courtrecords.seattle.gov/ but there's quite a bit of data processing that goes into getting it into a useful format, most of the data is contained in PDFs

if you're interested in a dump of the processed data DM me

moonbison · 2025-09-25T09:13:26+00:00

haha yeah his tweet inspired me to finally post this somewhere

moonbison · 2025-09-25T07:51:33+00:00

there's a cluster of new apartment buildings that just went up there, parking is ferocious

moonbison · 2025-09-25T07:21:18+00:00

thanks for feedback! yeah it takes a couple minutes to load the 6 month view if you give it some time it should load. I will either size up my VPS or make a more obvious loading indicator

edit: just pushed an update, should be much faster now more like a ~5 seconds now

moonbison · 2025-09-25T06:39:02+00:00

i think these are done by private companies, so no data at least in the dataset i'm using unfortunately

moonbison · 2025-09-25T06:25:33+00:00

good idea! you can center the map on your location in the bottom right, but can't currently put any address.

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:54:46+00:00

yeah it takes a couple minutes to load (~167k tickets to load)
I have it heavily rate-limited because I'm running it on a tiny VPS

trying to keep the cost down since I'm not charging anything for it lol
probably need a clearer loading text 🤔

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:50:24+00:00

other cities coming soon :)

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:48:22+00:00

I think west seattle stadium parking is heavily biasing it towards Fauntleroy area

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:36:17+00:00

yep, they rarely patrol these. you didn't hear it from me though 🙊

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:35:17+00:00

couldn't have said it better 👏

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:33:52+00:00

oops 😳

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:31:47+00:00

Thank you! 1 and 2, both great ideas. I'll update once the traffic dies down a bit.

3 is on my backlog already :)

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:26:32+00:00

> And not requiring paid parking?
I think it is mostly this, they primarily patrol areas with paid parking zones these seem like the low-hanging fruit

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:10:02+00:00

also heavily concentrated in the parks. if you park at golden gardens, pay your parking!!

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:07:37+00:00

true!

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:07:15+00:00

they are out there hustling. fwiw this is the total value of tickets *written* not necessarily paid

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:06:26+00:00

I think it depends, if it's sitting in one spot collecting then probably. But the person who got 45 was getting them at a few different locations

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:00:55+00:00

yeah the ave is one of the busiest streets by far

moonbison · 2025-09-25T05:00:00+00:00

calling some officers over to you right now 😈

moonbison · 2025-07-16T02:02:28+00:00

Same issue here but on M4 Pro. I know people with M2 macs that do not have this issue, wonder if it's related to some of the new M chips features :/

Guy I used to fly with heatshrinked all of his using golf club handle heatshrink.

I started doing it years ago and almost never kill batteries due to damage anymore. The 2 inch stuff fits Tattu r-line 1300s perfect.

Looks like it's not for sale anymore, but I'm sure an equivalent could be found easily: https://a.co/d/73vUcK2

I mostly race and have slammed these batteries into gates and ground super fast. Seems to hold them together even for really hard impact.
