Snohomish County's large-vehicle parking chapter carves out active loading and unloading: a large commercial vehicle or trailer that would otherwise be barred from an urban-residential road may stop there while actively loading or unloading materials or passengers (SCC 11.05.030).
The county has no separate 'loading zone' chapter for unincorporated residential streets, but chapter 11.05 SCC builds a loading exception into its restrictions. Under SCC 11.05.030, the prohibition on parking or storing a large commercial vehicle, trailer, or construction equipment in urban-residential areas does not apply when the vehicle is 'actively engaged in the loading or unloading of materials or passengers' or is operating under an approved right-of-way permit. Formal painted loading zones are typically a city, not county-unincorporated, feature; right-of-way permits under Title 13 SCC handle staging on county roads.
A large vehicle idling in a residential area beyond active loading, without a right-of-way permit, is a traffic infraction under SCC 11.05.050 and chapter 46.63 RCW.
