I was a tourist visiting Seattle in July 2010. On July 7 I parked at 75 Lenora St. I was unfamiliar with the machine dispensing paid parking receipts. Noticing this, a local gal stepped up, offered help, and instructed us to stick it on the window ( I was backed in as per City instructions). I paid for 2+ hours but returned after just 45 minutes. I then discovered I had been ticketed for ' No visible ticket'(!) I called the number on the ticket and was treated with incredible surliness. Deciding to show up in court with an explanation, I ticked the corresponding box and filled in my address & phone number. I then photographed my car from several angles, including close ups of the pre-paid ticket for court evidence.
I heard nothing until January 20/2011 when I received a demand from AllianceOne for US$ 79. Postmarked Jan. 10/2011
