At this time, state law allows mopeds to be parked anywhere that bicycles can be parked on public right of way. The University can regulate this in ways that the City cannot, because for parking purposes, they are considered private property.
A number of people - people at the UW, City, and a couple of state electeds - have been working on changing this for a couple of years. As part of the joint UW/City bicycle task force, I asked the City lobbyist to push this at the Capitol. A bill was introduced in the last legislative session to allow local municipalities to regulate moped parking, but it went nowhere. As you may know, legislation dies with the legislative session. It has not been reintroduced, as far as I know. Once thee state law is changed to allow local control over moped parking, the City can pass the appropriate parking ordinances. Bike Fed, and maybe city people (?) are working on getting this changed, but I don't know where it stands.
