About
Seattle Repertory (Rep) Theatre is one of Seattle’s largest not-for-profit performing arts institutions, established 60 years ago. With hundreds of artists and 300-400 volunteers, the theatre produces 8-10 shows every year, attracting 150,000 visitors annually.
Problem
Seattle Rep faced a longstanding parking problem, with an inequitable allocation of parking spots and a 6:1 demand-to-supply ratio. This created frustration and made people feel undervalued, affecting their morale and how they felt about the organization.
“Wayleadr certainly proved to be the right parking management software for us, I mean, look at my plaque, it’s clearly worked out. I hear almost nothing about people being upset about parking or transportation here and to have gotten that off the table has been a huge relief to me. It just allowed us to focus more on the work that we do here which is incredible.”
