generally after filling the forms, you get a judge and they give you a temp 10(?) day order providing you have given cause for a judge to take it as a legit concern. these usually don't get denied. you will need to appear and them too. you to show cause (now you have to substantiate your claims) as to why it should be extended...probably a year...depends. and them to defend themselves. if they no show, you automatically win...i THINK. some of this probably varies from state to state.

I rented a cabin in Plain back in late Sept. (2021) right on the river. Loved it! 1st time I've been to that part of WA and 1st time traveling on Hwy. 2 and Steven's Pass. We live in Clark County and have EZ access to another beautiful part of the state, the Columbia River Gorge.

Thanks for sharing.

you got like six months of grace period before Washington requires you to register you car with the state. If it were me, I'd get moved here first and then after I got myself situated I'd go get all the licensing and insurance items taken care of, especially if you end up buying a new vehicle after you've moved here. let the dealer take the trade and deal with all the licensing, so much easier for you that way in my opinion.

Usually any car will do, as long as the road gets plowed, although some vehicles handle better than others in deep snow. You may have to dig your vehicle and driveway out with a shovel, but generally the county and state roads get plowed reliably and you can just drive a normal car on them. People use snow shovels, snowblowers, tractors, or hire private plow trucks to clear their driveways. Chains are nice to have for driving during storms or on ice or on snow covered pavement, but might not be necessary depending on the vehicle and tires.

Source: I live in rural Okanogan county, I think there’s been around 55” of snow at my house so far this season.
