HB 1061 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing additional parking flexibility in residential neighborhoods.

Substitute House Bill 1061 allows cities and counties the option to permit residential property owners to park across their own driveways. This change amends existing state law to create an exception for this specific parking scenario. Parking across a driveway is only allowed if the driveway is 50 feet or shorter and does not obstruct a sidewalk, another driveway, or the roadway. The bill provides local governments with the discretion to implement this flexibility through local ordinances or resolutions, aiming to offer additional parking options for residents.
