<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I read the case quickly this morning. My take is, they can still tow. The issue is what they charge. Their ordinance used the word "penalty" and that seemed to be a determining factor. I am not sure how since their was a small fine and the rest was for the towing. So even though the word was in the ordinance, there was only a small fine. Also, while the commented heavily about the homestead issue, they said it did not come into play because the city was not trying to deprive the plaintiff of the trailer. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Yep, if they tow it they will have to be a custodian of it too ; so can't tow it to the next county - maybe they could if they transport the owner there and have them sign a waiver , release?<br>

<div dir="ltr">?Simply put, the homestead act was intended to provide shelter for families. Macumber v. Shafer, 96 Wn.2d 568, 570, 637 P.2d 645 (1981) (citing Clark v. Davis, 37 Wn.2d 850, 226 P.2d 904 (1951)). The act bars the city from towing a vehicle that is occupied as a primary residence and from forcing an individual to agree to a payment plan to prevent that vehicle from being sold at a public auction. With these observations, I respectfully concur.?<br>

<div dir="ltr">?Simply put, the homestead act was intended to provide shelter for families. Macumber v. Shafer, 96 Wn.2d 568, 570, 637 P.2d 645 (1981) (citing Clark v. Davis, 37 Wn.2d 850, 226 P.2d 904 (1951)). The act bars the city from towing a vehicle that is occupied as a primary residence and from forcing an individual to agree to a payment plan to prevent that vehicle from being sold at a public auction. With these observations, I respectfully concur.?<br>
