I don't see anything in the Seattle Traffic Code and the closest thing I could find in the state laws was 46.16A.080
"Registration — Exemptions. (Effective July 1, 2011.)
(4) Forklifts operated during daylight hours on public highways adjacent to and within five hundred feet of the warehouses they serve"
So I'd say no, they are not required to have a license plate. No different than a neighbor getting a sod delivery or a moving pod dropped off.
The driver went down 87th, turned on 38th then again on 86th.
38th Ave NE isn't adjacent to the work area.
A better sod/pod analogy would be that the delivery truck parked two blocks away and then drove back and forth all day to make their deliveries rather than spending the time and $ to file a proper permit with the dept of transportation to reduce northbound to one line during this work.
Northbound 35th Ave NE that is.
It wouldn't make sense to require forklifts to have license plates. It would cause an undue burden on the company owner to register with the state to simply drive a few minutes on the road.

It'd be an undue burden if it were simply a few minutes for a couple of days. In this case, it's been way more than that on a daily basis for the past 6 months.
