Political Signs and Home Owner Association (HOA) Rules
Many HOAs have rules that prohibit signs of any types on individual lots except for a For Sale or Rent sign. This does not pertain to political signs. According to the Washington state statute (RCW 64.38.034) it is your right to post a political sign in your yard regardless of rules of your HOA. This law makes any unreasonable restriction void and unenforceable when pertaining to political signs. See http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=64.38.034 (Reproduced below)
