Seattle City Council fails to override Mayor's veto on RV parking permit bill
Original source: westsideseattle.com

The Seattle City Council on 12 November 2026 failed to secure the two-thirds majority needed to override Mayor Wilson's veto of Council Bill 121283 on RV parking. The final reconsideration vote was 5–4 in favour of the override, short of the six votes required, so the veto stands. The bill, sponsored by Councilmember Dan Strauss, sought to limit RV parking on city streets to two hours at a time and create a permit system for vehicle residents. The council initially passed it 6–3 on 20 October, but the mayor vetoed it on 2 November, citing administrative complexity, long-term storage costs and a proposed one-time census requirement. More than 30 people testified during public comment, and a heated exchange between councilmembers preceded the roll call.
