I live on Capitol Hill and regularly see parking enforcement checking cars, but if there are cars that you think are hanging around too long near you, you can report them at https://www.seattle.gov/police/need-help/abandoned-vehicles

What are the owners of those cars supposed to do? Repark them, when there is no parking available? The residential buildings there don't have enough parking spots[1].

This isn't Soviet Russia, it's not like I'll get an extra ration and a pat on the back for turning my neighbour in.

[1] This has gotten better since they've added a parking permit requirement.

What? They are supposed to find longterm parking if they want to leave their car sitting useless for days at a time, not use public space for it. And if they are regularly not needing their car for days at a time and they're unwilling to pay for storage, maybe they should get rid of it and find another way to take their weekly ski trip.
