Question Island County Fire Lane Laws/Code help...

Right now i'm in a dispute about a parking ticket ($75 fine) i got for parking "Unauthorized Parking - Fire Lane" when the spots are not marked. 8 other people all got tickets that day due to lack of parking spaces and fire lane spots not clearly marked.

I've googled and googled and googled and the best thing i've found is FEDERAL WAY REVISED CODE Ch 8.55
According to this i can actually counter-sue them or, at the least, press charges on THEM for not maintaining properly marked spaces as per: 8.55.030 "Penalty of Violations" states: Any person who fails to mark or maintain the marking of a designated fire lane as prescribed in this chapter, or who parks a vehicle in, allows the parking of a vehicle in, obstructs or allows the obstruction of a designated fire lane is guilty of an infraction.

This is useful information, but i'm not sure that Seattle/Federal City laws/code apply to Island County/Oak Harbor

anyone have any insight?

Also, i've tried calling around, but no one opens up till 10:00am (it's only 8:25am right nw). -I'm just posting this in the meantime while i'm waiting to talk to the professionals.
