I noticed the ample parking lot behind QFC, Staples and Trader Joe’s on Redmond Way has signs stating “permit parking only.” This lot is for employees of all those stores, not their customers. I wanted to warn anyone who tries to park in this large lot. The fine is $30 — so park around the front and don’t get caught! If you don’t pay within 15 days, the amount goes up to $60. Read the towing signs and do not disregard them. That probably applies to all of Redmond business parking lots!
