Gene's Towing will hold a public auction for abandoned vehicles on July 29 at 10 a.m. at 3700 94th St SW, Lakewood. Emerald Towing will hold a separate auction on July 29 at 11 a.m. at 20618 Mountain Hwy E, Spanaway. Both auctions require cash payment by noon and vehicle removal by 4 p.m. on the same day. The auctions follow Washington state law (RCW 46.55) governing impounded vehicles. Gene's Towing #5069 and #5462 will sell vehicles in Lakewood, while Gene's Towing #5556 will hold a sale in Puyallup on July 30. The notices state all vehicles must be paid for and removed by specified deadlines to avoid additional fees. Two probate notices were also published, appointing personal representatives for estates of James Robert Schaewe and Judith G. Kopp. Creditors must submit claims within 30 days or four months from the notice date, whichever is later.
