Reporting an accident
If no officer investigates each driver must report the collision within 4 days when anyone is injured or damage to any one person's property is at least $1000. [dol.wa.gov]
Accident Report Copy
Tacoma directs collision-report requests to Washington State Patrol because WSP is the central repository for reports from every jurisdiction. [tacoma.gov]
Parking
Drivers must pay during posted hours and move the vehicle from the block face after the maximum time expires; Sundays and listed city holidays are free on-street parking days. [tacoma.gov]
Impounds: finding & releasing your car
The tow operator must mail notice within 24 hours after an unauthorized vehicle is impounded; the notice must include the tow firm's name address and phone number plus the location and time of impound. [app.leg.wa.gov]
Who to call
Tacoma Police non-emergency is 253-287-4455; the linked city page does not publish a Washington State Patrol number. [tacoma.gov]
Fees
Tacoma's impound administrative fee is set by the Finance Director and may not exceed $100.00; towing and storage costs are also owed to the contractor. [cms.tacoma.gov]
Private-property towing
