Residents challenge voting rules for nontraditional addresses
In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the residency status of a couple, Lisa and Nicholas Timm, who have moved to 678 Second Avenue South in Okanagan, Washington. The couple provided documentation, including a lease, a driver's license, and a letter from Veterans Affairs, to support their claim of residency at the new address.

Nicholas Timm presented a written declaration referencing Washington State law, specifically RCW 29A.08.112, which addresses voters without traditional residential addresses. He emphasized that individuals lacking a conventional address should not be disqualified from registering to vote, and that they would be assigned to a precinct based on the location they provide.

The couple explained their decision to relocate from their previous property at 11 Woodhill Road to avoid disruptions from frequent visitors. They intend for 678 Second Avenue South to be their long-term home, detailing their efforts to make the space livable, including repairs and renovations since purchasing the Crowder building in July 2022.

Timm clarified that their move occurred prior to their decision to run for county commissioner, which was announced in April 2024. The couple's residency and its implications for their political candidacy were key points of discussion, as they navigate the requirements for voter registration and local elections.
