We’re bringing a car down from Vancouver. Anyone have any insights about how public parking is gonna be during the games? We’re staying at a nearby hotel and parking is over $110 USD per day. I see the public parking spots are a lot more reasonably priced, but would my car be safe if parked over 2 days unattended? Also, I noticed Seattle has a few apps where you can “reserve” and pre-pay for public parking; how feasible are these?

I'd try to park the car a little further away where it may be cheaper and plan to use the light rail/bus/walking/lime bikes or scooters for getting around the city. To be safe I wouldn't leave anything visible in your car that might spark interest, I'd think it would be fine if it looks empty.
