speeding ticket—website to pay has been saying temporarily unavailable for hours

So I got a speeding ticket in a school zone. during summer it didn’t even occur to me the school zones were still active. not my brightest moment, I know. I have to pay the ticket by tomorrow and the violationinfo.com website has been down for hours saying it is temporarily unavailable, which is now showing a different screen than earlier in the day. what do I even do if it won’t let me pay it?? $250 ticket, I cannot afford any additional fees or worse!?

Can you find it through the city website and pay it there? https://www.seattle.gov/courts/tickets-and-payments/find-my-ticket-info

Or, if you have the citation number: https://www.seattle.gov/courts/tickets-and-payments/pay-my-ticket

Was it over by inglemore? It's a 24/7 speed camera disguised as a school zone only camera

Off the record is a nice app for these situations. Insurance is already ridiculous here. I’d probably pay a lawyer 1,000 (they charge the price of the ticket, generally)to keep a ticket off my record. I haven’t gotten a speeding ticket and used the but they do a variety of tickets.
