Unincorporated Yakima County has no blanket overnight street-parking ban or permit program on its rural roads. A vehicle simply may not be left abandoned, and state rules against obstructing the roadway still apply.
The county does not impose a citywide 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. overnight parking curfew or require overnight permits on unincorporated roads. You can park overnight in your own driveway or on the shoulder where no sign prohibits it and the vehicle does not obstruct traffic. What is not allowed is leaving a vehicle abandoned on the public right-of-way: under state law an unattended vehicle left on a highway can be tagged and impounded. Cities within the county, and some posted county zones, may set their own overnight limits.
No general overnight-parking fine applies on rural county roads; a vehicle left abandoned or obstructing the right-of-way may be tagged, ticketed, and towed at the owner's expense.
