Light Trespass & Shielding
Unincorporated Grays Harbor County has no general outdoor-lighting ordinance, but any on-site parking facility built for five or more vehicles must be lit so the fixtures reflect light away from adjoining residential premises. County Code § 17.68.080 attaches the standard to the same subsection that requires paving, drainage and planning-director-approved access, so it is checked at parking-lot permit review rather than through a stand-alone lighting permit.
