The announcement came a day after Fox 13 Seattle interviewed a nurse about the situation.
Brittney Campbell told the station that she used to take public transit to work at Harborview Medical Center, but started taking her own car as a social distancing precaution.
As an employee, she gets an employee parking discount but it was still costly, the station reported. All-day parking at the hospital costs $20 a day.
