Parking by Ashley™

Ashley's
Parking
Adventures.

Ashley goes into your neighborhood's parking garages so you don't have to.

She finds the entrance. She photographs the posted rates. She notices the confusing stuff. And she tells us what she actually found.

Parking information shouldn't require detective work.

Websites tell you a garage exists. Ashley goes there.

Parking is one of those small things that can make arriving somewhere surprisingly difficult. Which entrance is actually open? What does the place look like? Where is the rate board? Is the parking what a visitor expected?

Parking by Ashley™ adds something maps and databases often can't provide: a curious human being standing there, looking at the same place a visitor will encounter.

How Ashley works

Evidence first.
Personality included.

Useful parking information starts with someone actually going there.

1

Find the entrance

Ashley documents what a driver actually encounters when approaching the parking location.

2

Gather the evidence

Entrances, signs, posted rates and other useful details are photographed in the field.

3

Notice the confusing stuff

Multiple operators, confusing entrances, payment systems and other things visitors need to know get noticed.

4

Report back

Photographs and firsthand observations become useful parking information instead of disappearing into a spreadsheet.

Chapter One · Seattle Waterfront

It started with a simple question.

Where should a visitor actually park?

Ashley's first assignment is a curated collection of garages and lots serving Seattle's Waterfront.

The goal isn't to photograph every parking space in Seattle. It's to create a smaller collection of useful, well-documented places based on what is actually there.

Work with Parking by Ashley™

Better parking information can start in different ways.

Some organizations need a parking guide. Some know their neighborhood better than anyone. Some operate the parking. We can bring the pieces together.

Neighborhoods & Districts

Let's build a better parking guide for your neighborhood.

For neighborhood associations, business districts, chambers and community organizations.

You know the neighborhood

Help us identify where parking creates friction.

You know the destinations people are trying to reach, the questions visitors ask and the parking situations that regularly cause confusion.

Ashley does the field work

We investigate the parking.

Ashley visits selected facilities, documents entrances, photographs what she finds and turns the field work into useful visitor information.

We can look for support together

Collaboration doesn't have to begin with a big content budget.

We're interested in working with community organizations to develop useful local parking guides and exploring sponsorships and commercial partnerships that can help support the work.

One source · Many uses

One garage.
One current Ashley review.

The same parking facility may serve a neighborhood, hotel, attraction, event and office building. It shouldn't need five conflicting versions of what Ashley found.

One current Ashley review.
Many possible implementations.

Ashley's current field observations stay connected to the parking facility. That information can then appear in different guides and on different websites, surrounded by information specific to each destination or audience.

A client can also commission its own photographs, props, poses, creative concepts and presentation without purchasing a different version of Ashley's findings.

Make it yours

Sometimes the parking guide is only the beginning.

Ashley's field work can become original content built around a destination, neighborhood, property, event or campaign.

Tell us what you're imagining. Special creative requests are scoped individually.

A custom Ashley assignment might include:

Requested props
Custom poses
Branded elements
Destination-specific photography
Event or campaign concepts
Additional locations
Special shot lists
Custom web presentation
And we keep it useful

Parking doesn't stand still.

Rates change. Operators change. Payment systems change. Entrances move. Construction happens.

Parking by Ashley™ can maintain the underlying information and send Ashley back into the field when fresh photographs, verification or firsthand observations are needed.

Because the information can feed more than one website, a new field visit can improve multiple visitor experiences without creating multiple competing versions of the same review.

The Royal Decree

Ashley reports what Ashley finds.

Clients and partners can commission field work, custom photography, props, poses, creative concepts, special locations, web experiences and campaigns.

You can commission the adventure.
You can't commission the verdict.

Factual information can be corrected when evidence supports a change. If conditions change, a new field visit can document what is there now rather than rewriting what Ashley observed before.

Where should Ashley go next?

Bring us a neighborhood, destination, property, parking partnership or creative idea.

If parking is part of the problem, there's probably an Ashley adventure in it.
