A panel heard arguments in Human Rights Commission v. Summerwalk HOA over whether enforcement of covenants after a home sale is a "service furnished in connection with a real estate transaction" under the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD); counsel for the Commission urged reversal of an ALJ dismissal, while HOA counsel argued the statute limits the agency's jurisdiction.

At oral argument in case no. 616432, the Washington State Human Rights Commission argued that enforcement of Summerwalk Homeowners Association covenants against homeowner Joseph Mitchell is a "service furnished in connection with the real estate transaction" under the statute cited in the transcript (referred to there as the "wall ad"); respondents countered that HOA enforcement is a private, optional governance matter not covered by the statute.
