The difference between Anti-Harassment Order and an Order for Protection is whether domestic violence is an issue in the situation. If domestic violence is involved, an Order for Protection will need to be obtained from Superior Court. If no domestic violence is involved and no assault or children, and the issue is just harassment, whether by phone or in person, then an Anti-Harassment Order would be obtained from District Court, 509.527.3236.

The unlawful harassment statue does not allow an order for protection from civil harassment to be issued in any action covered by the domestic violence laws (Chapters 10.99 and 26.50 RCW). Domestic violence is defined as physical harm, bodily injury, assault, or the infliction of fear of imminent physical harm, bodily injury or assault between family or household members; or sexual assault of one family or household member by another. "Family or household members" include adults or juveniles who are spouses, former spouses, persons related by blood or marriage, persons who are presently residing together, or who have resided together in the past, and persons who have a child in common regardless of whether they have been married or have lived together at any time. This also includes roommates.

A restraining order is actually called an Order for Protection. It may be obtained from Superior Court, if it involves domestic violence and children. Superior Court is located at 315 W. Main Street in Walla Walla, 509.527.3221. The Superior Court Judge must sign the order for it to be valid; signing of the orders occurs from 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. during the weekday. If you need help filling out the forms and you are a victim of domestic violence, you may call Chalese Calhoon, the Domestic Violence Services Officer. Please refer to the Domestic Violence page under the Police Department or contact Chalese directly at 509.527.4434.

Forms for Orders for Protection may be obtained from Superior Court or District Court. You will get 1) Petition for Order for Protection 2) Law Enforcement Information Sheet 3) Temporary Order for Protection. Remember that an Order For Protection usually involves an assault, domestic violence and children.

If a property owner has a vehicle on his/her property and doesn't have a title to it, the property owner and/or the junk hauler must first contact the City of Walla Walla Police Department Code Enforcement Officers to do an inspection of the vehicle to see if it meets the criteria of a junk vehicle. If it does, the Code Enforcement Officer will fill out the appropriate paperwork and have the junk hauler remove the vehicle. A junk hauler must have legal paperwork to have a vehicle stored within their yard.
