Is a condo a single-family residence (Washington State Law)?

[Ben Lukes]

I own a condo in Washington State with my wife that we are going to rent out, but I'm trying to figure out if a single condo unit counts as a single-family residence or not.  The reason I want to know is that if it isn't, then I am required by RCW 59.18.060(12) to provide very detailed fire safety and protection information (which I would like to avoid).

According to RCW 59.18.030(26):

I'm not sure what "direct access to a street" means, and I also am not clear on what counts as an "essential facility or service".  The unit doesn't share heating or not water facilities, but it does share a dumpster, for example...

Anyway, I'm wondering if any one has been in a similar situation before and has any knowledge on the subject.  Thanks in advance!

Seattle has very specific laws separate from Washington State even. I'm in Tacoma and yes a condo is considered a SFR. Also make sure you check your condo CC&R to make sure there is no rental cap and if there contact management and make sure the development is not at its rental cap.
