  • Local management provides prompt attention to any service needs

What is the history of Seattle BIKE PORT Pioneer Square?

The original 24/7 bike parking facility was opened as Bikestation Seattle in 2003 and was managed by the facility bike repair vendor until 2005. The Bicycle Alliance of Washington moved their office into the Bikestation facility in 2005, and Bikestation Long Beach took over management. In February 2009, Bicycle Alliance began operating the facility, and the name was changed to Seattle BIKE PORT Pioneer Square in March 2010.

Are there BIKE PORTS anywhere else besides downtown Seattle?

Not at this time, but the there are several future sites being researched and developed for City of Seattle and Sound Transit’ new Link Light Rail Stations. Bicycle Alliance has developed and manages BIKE PORT as a model for bicycle parking facilities, and works with our community partners to increase this important infrastructure throughout Washington State.

If you have not been down to Seattle BIKE PORT, please drop in for a tour during our regular business hours M-F 9am-5pm.

Also remember, the fees have been reduced for 2010, AND Bicycle Alliance members still get an additional $20 discount when purchasing an Annual Plan
