and eighty-four inches off the ground, with the international symbol of
access, whose colors are white on a blue background, described under
RCW 70.92.120 ((and the notice "State disabled parking permit

that the parking spaces are not blocked or made inaccessible, and
failure to do so is a class 2 civil infraction.
