They Issues multiple ticks to me for a vehicle I haven’t owned in over 15 years. I did fill out the sellers report at the time. After spending hours on the phone i now have to spend more time chasing paper work. All this with the threat of being sent to collections.
A friend of mine was gonna meet me for lunch around the corner at ten, but the court took way too long and we had to wait for like an hour. C’mon Seattle Muni court system!!!!

Spoke with Supervisor Tasha. Didn’t receive any paywork in the mail about a new date of when my ticket was due. Said theres nothing she could do about it and now it’s in collections. Terrible customer service.
Jury duty? It’s a lot of waiting around but the views are fantastic. Being a book, your laptop or device. They have coffee (drip 🥴) tea and hot water and a fridge for you which is quite nice. …
The worst, they send me proof with pictures I did not run any red. And so I explain this and ask them to look closely like I did. But they just say actually ur a car length behind the light? When in the picture I was out of the intersection before it even turn ed red
Defended myself from an overzealous Meter Maid and had the $47 ticked dismissed. Nice friendly magistrate handled the matter quickly.
Worth the trip, pretty efficient operation on the “pre-hearing” dept.
Worth it, for sure.

What would y’all have rather me talk on the phone and drive would that have been better
The system makes it as complicated as possible for citizens to pay tickets. What is even worse? Tickets that are bogus. Tickets you should have never received. Talk about highway robbery. Dear ticket person, I was not parked on a yellow curb- therefore I do not owe the city of Seattle $47.
I just received a Balance Due notice for $78.00 from this Seattle Municipal Court. Stating that this is for a parking Ticket by a Ford Van being parked in a Comm. Load Zone with a violation date of 4-12-18. at 13:39. How interesting in …

if I could give them a big fat 0 rating I would. Worst customer service ever experienced. They do nothing to help you and it is basically their word against yours and you know you will never win. They feel it is ok to just hang up on you …
The mail in ticket contesting is a joke… I can’t go into court because I don’t live in Washington, and they made up something new to justify my ticket. Corruption abounds. So sad…
This is a court house. Seattle’s Municipal Court
Can you imagine how hard the employees and court associates actually mentally and physically work. I guarantee half the reviewers wouldn’t handle an hour nor …
Was given a traffic ticket for expired tabs, which I didn’t have. Someone stole them off my car. So I got back with them cause I had up to date registration, but because it was over 15 days, I was refused a hearing, and was now responsible for a ticket I shouldn’t have received in the first place. Dishonest crooks, terrible institution.

Illegal impound and ticket. On January 30, 2020 my car was ticketed, impounded and towed while I was at work on 8th St, 98104 outside the senior living facility and my apartment at Bay Ridge Court. The most disgusting part is that I had …
Received some notice about an unpaid restricted zone ticket with a late fee charged. Strange, I don’t recall receiving a ticket attached to my windshield wiper in the first place. I feel like perhaps the officer who wrote the ticket didn’t place it correctly after writing it. I feel like I shouldn’t have to pay the late fee at all.
In Seattle you can park RVs anywhere on the roads and streets. You can set up homeless tents wherever you want. You can steal from businesses and destroy windows. just don’t park five minutes past the parking restriction time limit. They will tow you, wreck your car. And cost you hundreds of dollars in fines and tickets.
What a scam. If you receive a parking ticket, don’t expect evidence of your innocence to clear your name. They take the cop’s word over your photos. The cop doesn’t even have to have the address of your offense, they put down on the ticket …

Worst place on the planet.
Garbage
Unafisiant and slow
Trash
Wow bad service
301 room traffic
Horrible.
They take lives….
Stay legal to avoid this hellhole!
Room 235
they like money
They’re very bad
The biggest waste of time of my life.
AFTER I PAID THEY SENT ME TO COLLECTION 🙁
Wedding ceremony with a great view!
One star is being generous.
HALT THE POLICY OF ISSUING TRAFFIC CAMERA TICKETS!!!!!
Professional, helpful and great place.
Corrupt people very sad
The IVR customer service is really ridiculous.
Never pickup a phone call. Terrible service.
Horrible customer services, mad old females, they won’t even help you nor answer questions, they are paid to serve the public
Garbage website looks like hasn’t changed in 15 years, useless
Judge supports child around child molesters and support domestic violence.
Nice building was there as a witness was treated very well
Everyone that’s going here, is going for a reason. Do what’s expected of you and respect is a mutual commonality.
A truly immoral and mostly useless institution. Worst customer service ALWAYS
what does it take to get on the phone with a real person? this is insane.been on hold for 30 minutes.
Useless con artists who routinely break their own laws but will not budge when called on it.
It’s the courthouse….. No one in their right mind would give this publicly run government establishment 5 starts.
wrote me false ticket when i paid for parking… now i have collections agency after me
Staff was super friendly and I was in and out in no time.
Race’ss service is zero
Workers should learn about the good manners
Do these people realize how easy it is stay out of trouble?….. Don’t take it out on the clerks
Was on hold for over 35 minutes then got hung up on cause the court closed. Ultra frustrating.
I a the victim in a case and can get no help. I can not get anyone on the phone. No wonder people hate this government.
Despite not coming here happy, or of my own free will. Justice was served. To me and multiple others.
Horrible service. They sent me a penalty for a ticket that I had already paid, and they made it almost impossible to file a claim.
Why would you ever rate the courts anything aside from “1 out of 5 stars”?
Paid street parking generates $37 million for the city annually, with another $21.8 million raised from tickets. Targeting the working classes!!
I have never seen organized chaos and everything went so smooth. I would rather go to court in king county rather then Snohomish county.
The Magistrate was professional. He listened and did what he could and thought was fair. Appreciated his time and attention.
It would be nice if they worked harder to keep people safe instead of creatively finding ways to pass out traffic citations.
A friend of mine was gonna meet me for lunch around the corner at ten, but the court took way too long and we had to wait for like an hour. C’mon Seattle Muni court system!!!!

My traffic ticket was dismissed and only paid the $120 court fees. Easy checkin and even though I was 15min late, I was seen within 5 minutes.
I called to set up payment plan and the customer service person Shakayla was very rude not professional at all. They need to hire professional people.
