EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council unanimously approved two ordinances Wednesday to address “nuisance” recreational vehicles on public roads in unincorporated parts of the county.

One ordinance limits RV parking on public roads to 72 hours, after which violators may receive a notice and risk impoundment. A second ordinance allows the county to use its nuisance properties abatement fund to cover the cost of enforcing nuisance RVs.

The council passed the ordinances, sponsored by council member Nate Nehring, unanimously. The county’s Office of Neighborhoods, which pairs law enforcement officers with social workers, will take the lead on enforcing the new law.

“Our Office of Neighborhood deputies, along with Snohomish County Human Services, will continue to offer resources to those in need, and will utilize this ordinance to improve neighborhood safety,” Snohomish County Sheriff Susanna Johnson said in a press release Wednesday.

1. A result of increasing homelessness

Some of my acquaintances helped to establish public parking areas with portable showers for RVs in the Seattle area. Not nearly enough to meet the need, though.

2. They used to have a lot more mobile home parks that would take these

Given the high cost of housing a lot of investors have bought these up and replaced them with either commercial or upscale housing.
