Every person in whose name a vehicle is registered shall be responsible for any parking violation by the parking of said vehicle in violation of the provisions of the Pullman City Code and any appropriate resolutions enacted pursuant thereto. A notice of infraction represents a determination that an infraction has been committed. The determination will be final unless contested as provided in Chapter 46.63 RCW It shall be no defense that the vehicle was parked illegally by another, unless proof is presented that said vehicle has been stolen and had not been returned to the registered owner by the date of the violation. This section shall not apply to registered owners transferring vehicle ownership who have complied with RCW 46.12.102 prior to the date of the violation. (Ord. 95-5 §3, 1995; Ord. 82-21 §4, 1982).
