I looked into buying land and prefab (although not in WA), and some of the biggest costs were things like running power, water, sewage lines to the land (if not already there), building a driveway etc. ended up being significantly more expensive than buying an existing home, obviously ymmv. Another option is buying a run down, very cheap existing home and bulldozing it and then putting in a prefab.

I’d assume your idea is slightly cheaper but I always thought the largest expense is the land price to begin with.

EDIT: OP, as others say, land prep can cost way too much. I’d add reaching out to your local architect to do a preliminary feasibility study before you even buy a plot.

You are correct I was referring to the year.

I’m baffled the actual DOL office couldn’t help! Maybe they are just for licenses?

What about ordering replacement plates? (Cheaper then that tow the Redmond police offered.). I’m certain sure those independent licensing offices have month and year stickers because I’ve gotten brand new plates (with month and year stickers) there for cars I’ve bought and transferred ownership.

I think a major distinction when it comes to historical atrocities is whether people living now are still affected by the fallout from said atrocities. Indigenous people in the US are absolutely still negatively affected to this day in myriad ways. Are you, as a living person with Scottish ancestry, experiencing a negative impact to your life due to the historical practice of prima nocte?

The DOL has to have them. How do they provide the tab set for new registrations/plates if they don't have "month stickers"?

I guess you have to call the main number if your local DOL is claiming they don't have them and see if you can order the month part by mail.

Did you have your registration with you when you were pulled over? The police officer should have looked at that to confirm it was not expired and not threatening to tow your vehicle. Were you pulled over solely for the tabs? The interaction sounds over the top for the issue. Strange when police can't give you a ticket without escalating the situation, but if it was Redmond they have no sense of humor at all.
