Recent Q&As in Washington (real estate)

What to do about neighbors blocking shared easement every weekend? | Aug 23, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Washington Hi everyone. Less than 5 years ago a neighbor moved in. They have several people living in the house already. The parking area in front of their garage is small and accommodates maybe 6 cars if you squeeze them together. It can fit more if they park on the front yard grass. Over the years they added 2 RVs which they park on the side of their house in the backyard. Problem is these people have taken it as “well we can’t fit all cars on our property, great let’s park on the shared easement and to the right of it!”. They let their visitors park their 6-7 cars on the easement and block us from accessing our garage or using the easement. Their excuse is they own half the easement so they can park on it. They are confrontational people and will start getting pissed and film you for even bringing up the issue. Police and the city say it’s private property therefore it’s a civil matter. We talked to a lawyer years ago and they said they would need to send them a letter which was like 1k. We didn’t have the money for it so didn’t pursue it. Is there anything else we can do? Or is a lawyer the only way? I’m not sure how to add a photo to explain the layout. I thought about reporting their RVs for code violation but that’s not the issue I just want them to stop blocking…
I've been fishing an HOA owned lake from a homeowner's dock with permission, but I'm apparently trespassing according to another member of the HOA | Aug 11, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Washington state. I've been fishing this lake for about a year now. They have a park with access for residents, and guests must be with a resident and pay a $5 fee to fish/use the facilities such as the pool. I've never used to park. I've been fishing in a family friend's backyard who lives on the lake. The other day, some guy on a kayak yells at me to go home because I'm "trespassing". He doesn't know the homeowner, and when I tell him I'm there visiting them, he says they have to be with me and I have to pay the $5 fee. He didn't leave until I pretended to go home. He even said, "do you want me to come up there?" Implying he wanted to get out of his kayak and come into the backyard. I don't know if that counts as a threat but that's what it seemed like to me. Any advice is appreciated.
[WA State, tree law] Neighbor massively pruned and topped shared tree on property line | Aug 7, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Washington State My neighbor decided to top and massively trim a small tree that sits right on the property line without my consent. This is at least the second time they have done such a thing -- the topping job was so bad the first time that I thought it was plausible that it was wind damage, but after seeing them hack at it yesterday I know they just yanked the top right off. My question is that despite the first job, the tree didn't die, so I suspect it will still survive this despite now looking terrible. It's my understanding that they'd be liable for timber trespass if the tree did die, but do I have any recourse if the tree does not die (but just looks terrible)? Ideally I want them to replace the tree with one that isn't mutilated, but I assume that wouldn't be possible?
