Oh Crumbs! Lost Your License to Park Like a Rockstar? Replacing Your Washington Handicap Placard
Let's face it, nobody enjoys misplaced things. But hey, at least a lost sock is less dramatic than a misplaced handicap placard (unless you're planning a daring escape and that sock is your grappling hook... but that's a story for another day).
If you're in Washington state and your placard has gone rogue, fear not, fellow park-with-panache permit holder! Replacing it is a breeze, easier than parallel parking a double-decker bus (although, that would be pretty darn impressive).
Here's the lowdown on getting your parking swag back:

- Proof You're Still a Parking VIP: Don't worry, you don't need to wear a cape. Just show some ID that proves you're the rightful owner of the placard. Driver's license? Boom. Passport? You got it, champ!
