Beginning July 1, 2005, RCW 35.63.160 added to the definitions, "New or designated manufactured home" which: (1) is comprised of at least two fully enclosed parallel sections each of not less than twelve feet wide by thirty-six feet long; and (2) was originally constructed with and now has a composition or wood shake or shingle, coated metal, or similar roof of not less than 3:12 pitch; and (3) has exterior siding similar in appearance to siding materials commonly used on conventional site-built International Residential Building Code single-family residences. "New manufactured home" means any manufactured home required to be titled under RCW Title 46, which has not been previously titled to a retail purchaser, and is not a "used mobile home" as defined in RCW 82.45.032(2). B. "Mobile home" means a factory-built dwelling built prior to June 15, 1976, to standards other than the HUD code, and acceptable under applicable state codes in effect at the time of construction or introduction of the home into the state. Mobile homes have not been built since introduction of the HUD Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act. C. "Modular home" means a building constructed according to the State Department of Labor and Industries specifications for factory-built homes.

All installations of manufactured homes within the city shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, or the specifications of an engineer or architect licensed in Washington State or the American National Standard Institute’s (ANSI) A225.1 for relocated homes when the manufacturer’s installation instructions are not available. The city requires concrete ribbon, runner or full slab foundations. WAC 296-150M-600 allows local jurisdictions to impose their requirements for snow and wind loads on manufactured homes as long as all structures within their jurisdiction are required to comply with the same standard and provided, those installing the manufactured home are given options to satisfy that standard.

It must be installed per the manufacturer’s installation instructions or if the manufacturer is not specific, the skirting must be of materials suitable for ground contact. Metal fasteners must be galvanized, stainless steel or other corrosive-resistant material. Ferrous metal members in contact with the earth, other than those that are galvanized or stainless steel, must be coated with an asphaltic emulsion. Skirting must not be attached in such a manner that can cause water to be trapped between the skirting and siding or trim. The skirting must be recessed behind the siding or trim. C. The manufactured home site must be prepared per the manufacturer’s installation manual or per ANSI A225.1, 1994 Edition. D. The foundations for new or designated manufactured homes in divisions other than Divisions 5A, 7, 12, or 24A shall have foundations in accordance with Section 17.16.070.
