BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – More parking spots in downtown Bellingham will soon transition to paid parking.

The city will transition several time-limited parking zones into paid parking areas starting next week.

That includes new portions of W Holly Street, N Forest Street, Prospect Street and Grand Avenue.

Here’s the full list of impacted stretches of road:

  • W Holly from Champion to Central
  • Central from W Holly to the end of the road
  • Prospect between Central and Lottie
  • Grand from Lottie to Girard
  • E Chestnut between N State and N Forest
  • N Forest from E Holly to York
  • Magnolia from N Forest to N State
  • E Champion from N Forest to N State
