So there's this motorcycle that's been sitting in my backyard for months. Its in good shape and looks like it would run well, missing the left-hand mirror but otherwise, its only got a few thousand miles on it. So I dragged it out of the yard and thought, "well shit, clearly nobody owns this bike." I called the police and they verified it was not reported stolen.
So from what I've read in the State of Washington and most other states the Department of Licensing should be able to give out the name and address of the last registered owner of an abandoned vehicle. Problem is, all the DOLs I email claim they don't do that.
Ultimately id like to try to claim the bike for myself. If anyone on here knows the proper way to go about doing that or has any helpful advice, let me know.

I'm spitballing here but as I had a trailer in WA that I bought but couldn't get a title for, here's my guess: you can go in and file for a lost title. An inspection is probably required and then you receive a provisional registration. After three years, you receive title.
