Spokane County does not run a residential street-parking permit program in unincorporated areas. Vehicles on the public right-of-way follow state law: an abandoned or unauthorized vehicle can be impounded, and a certified junk vehicle on the road may be removed as a nuisance.
Unincorporated county roads are governed mainly by the state motor-vehicle towing chapter, RCW 46.55, rather than a local parking-permit code. A registered tow operator that impounds and holds a vehicle 120 consecutive hours has an 'abandoned vehicle,' and law enforcement may inspect and authorize disposal of a certified junk vehicle. The county's own nuisance code (SCC 6.13) targets junk vehicles on private property, not routine street parking. Individual incorporated cities (Spokane, Spokane Valley, Airway Heights) set their own street-parking rules, which do not apply in unincorporated county areas.
Abandoned/unauthorized vehicles on the right-of-way may be impounded under RCW 46.55; owner pays tow and storage costs.
