Washington sets no statewide time limit for street parking, so on unincorporated Yakima County roads the state stopping rules in RCW 46.61.570 govern: no parking in intersections, on crosswalks, within 15 feet of a hydrant, or where signs prohibit it.
Yakima County has no municipal-style metered or timed street parking across its rural roads. On county-maintained roads, the Washington rules of the road control: RCW 46.61.570 bars stopping, standing, or parking in an intersection, on a sidewalk or planting strip, on a crosswalk, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, on a bridge, or wherever an official sign prohibits it. Vehicles must be registered and operable. The county can post specific no-parking zones, and inside cities like Yakima or Sunnyside the municipal code adds its own limits.
Illegal stopping or parking under RCW 46.61.570 is a traffic infraction; vehicles blocking a roadway, hydrant, or right-of-way may be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense.
