[WSBARP] New RCW 64.90 requirements under Senate Bill 5129

Mon Jun 16 11:40:22 PDT 2025

Is it the understanding among practitioners in this community that the new Senate Bill 5129 that goes into effect on July 27 will require all new common interest communities (including a 2-lot short plat for example) to have an HOA?  Currently, we typically refer to 12-lot and under communities with $300 or less in assessments to be limited in that only Sections 64.90.020, 64.90.025, and 64.90.030 apply. Now, it appears that all communities will have a long list of sections in WUCIOA that will apply no matter what the community's size.  Meaningfully, the sections 64.90.400-64.90.410 lay out HOA requirements.  Is this really the case that every subdivision of every kind no matter how small must have an HOA and comply with all the formalities attendant thereto?  I am surprised this has not been at the forefront of more discussion as the ramifications seem huge in terms of impact and workload for the legal community and developers.  Would love to hear others' perspectives.

Hello All:

I was approached by an attorney who is serving as the special referee is a divorce/ dissolution of marriage case.  The Special Referee already has findings of fact, conclusions of law, and order awarding the family house to husband, but wife will not vacate despite the language of the order and as I understand it the daily fines for continued occupancy.

The Special Referee would like to seek a writ of ejectment to remove the wife from the premises and is seeking to hire counsel to help The Special Referee obtain the writ of ejectment.

Property and parties are in King County.

If anyone wants to take on such a case, please respond to me (msafren at jennylinglaw.com<mailto:msafren at jennylinglaw.com>) and I will connect you with The Special Referee.

Kind regards,
Michael Safren, Attorney
