ington State Patrol all motor vehicles reported
to him as stolen or recovered upon forms to be
provided by the chief of the Washington State
Patrol.

son so reporting the same as stolen shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor unless he shall report
the recovery thereof to the chief of police to
whom such motor vehicle was reported stolen.
C. It shall be the duty of the chief of police
to report to the chief of the Washington State
Patrol all vehicles or automobile hulks found
abandoned on a highway or at any other place
and the same shall at the direction of a law
enforcement officer be placed in the custody of
a registered disposer. [Ord. 2076 § 1, 1979].
8.50.070 Owner of record presumed liable
for costs when vehicle
abandoned — Exceptions.
A. The abandonment of any vehicle or
automobile hulk shall constitute a prima facie
presumption that the last owner of record is
responsible for such abandonment and thus
liable for any costs incurred in removing, stor-
ing and disposing of any abandoned vehicle.
B. A registered owner transferring a vehi-
cle shall be relieved from personal liability
under this chapter if within five days of the
transfer he transmits to the department a

8.50.100
8.50.080 Owner or agent required to pay

claim an impounded vehicle by payment of all
charges that have accrued to the time of recla-
mation. If the vehicle was impounded at the

the fact that the vehicle has been claimed, and
by whom. [Ord. 2076 § 1, 1979].
8.50.090 Impounding not to prevent
prosecution.

clude charging the violator with any violation

8.50.100 Contract with registered
disposer to dispose of vehicles

B. Any registered disposer under contract
to the city for the removing and storing of
vehicles or hulks shall comply with the admin-
istrative regulations relative to the handling

8-21 (Revised 2116)

promulgated by the police chief or the director

8.50.110 Unlawful to abandon junk motor
vehicles.

the person having the right to possession of the

any highway or other property open to the pub-
lic for purposes of vehicular travel or parking
for 24 hours or longer without notification to
the chief of police of the reasons for leaving
the motor vehicle in such a place. For the pur-
poses of this section, the fact that a motor vehi-
cle has been so left without permission or
notification is prima facie evidence of aban-
donment. Any person convicted of abandoning
a junk motor vehicle shall be assessed any
costs incurred by the city in disposing of such
abandoned junk motor vehicle less any monies
accrued to the city from such disposal. [Ord.
2083 § 1, 1979; Ord. 2076 § 1, 1979].
8.50.120 Abandoning vehicles unlawful.
A. No person shall leave or permit a vehicle
to remain on any highway or private property
without the permission of the owner longer

cles may remain on the highway for a period
not to exceed 72 hours if it is lawfully parked.
B. Up to two vehicles registered to a dwell-
ing unit may be parked within 1,000 feet of the
dwelling unit on the public right-of-way for a
period of up to 72 hours. In no case may more
than two cars registered to a dwelling unit park
on the public right-of-way within 1,000 feet of
the dwelling unit. [Ord. 4015 § 1, 2016; Ord.
2076 § 1, 1979].
8.50.125 Written impound authorization
form.
Whenever an officer impounds a vehicle
pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, the
officer shall complete an authorization form
(Revised 2116) 8-22
approved by the chief of police which specifies
the section of this chapter or Chapter 46.55
RCW authorizing the impound. In the alterna-
tive, a law enforcement notice of infraction or
citation for an offense which authorizes the
impound may be substituted at the officer's
discretion. [Ord. 2736, 1989].
8.50.200 Penalties.
Any person violating any provision of this
chapter shall be guilty of an infraction and
shall be punished by a maximum penalty of
$250.00. [Ord. 2592 § 5, 1986; Ord. 2076 § 1,
1979].
8.50.300 Severability.
If any section, subsection, clause or phrase
or word of this chapter is for any reason held to
be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity
or constitutionality of the remaining portions
of this chapter. [Ord. 2076 § 1, 1979].
