RCW Title 46 § 46.55.117: Impounds under RCW 64.44.050
What this law says, in plain English
Vehicle impounds under RCW 64.44.050 are handled differently from standard impounds. Tow operators transport vehicles to secure public facilities but don't store them; law enforcement retains custody and handles demolition or decontamination. Law enforcement pays towing costs if owners don't within thirty days and may seek reimbursement.
