Neighbors from hell... HELP!

So I bought a townhouse last fall, and my neighbors are the most retarded stupid fuckholes in the world, and I'm hoping GFY and it's cornucopia of intellects may be able to offer some advice...

Problem #1:

They park in public areas. All the condos have a 2 car garage, not only do these dweebs have 3 cars (cuz it's a couple and they are renting a room to one of their sisters) ... but they DON'T USE THEIR GARAGE FOR PARKING. Instead, they choose to park two of their cars horizontally in front of their garage, in such a way that it doesn't really block our garage, but makes it a living hell to get in and out of it. Because the townhomes are brand new, no parking rules have been laid down, but it's conceivable that this area could be turned into a fire lane.. the 3rd car is parked out in the public parking area, which in itself isn't a big deal, but on weekends, it's just one more spot that visitors can't park in.

Problem #2:

As if the parking isn't bad enough, the 2 chicks that live there are smokers. I have a 3 story townhose with a covered veranda downstairs and a porch on the 2nd floor which the master bedroom window overlooks. Their condo is basically a mirror image of mine, and OF FUCKING COURSE they have chosen to make the 2nd story porch their little haven for sucking down cancer. And being summer, my bedroom window is open most of the time, so their smoke blows in frequently throughout the day and night.

-----------------------------
I HAVE TRIED to be polite - at least with the parking thing ... both Elyse and I have politely asked to not park their cars where they park them because it makes it very difficult for us to get in and out of our garage. We have asked them on 3 occasions, we have asked the builder to talk to them (and seen him follow through) on 2 occasions, AND have had a letter written from the make-shift homeowners association asking them not to park there. THEY JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK. They continue to park there.

We have not yet tackled the smoking issue .. but I would like some suggestions on how to resolve it.

A few things for you to consider before responding:
1.) I don't really like confrontation and strive to avoid it until the last possible instant.

2.) Up until now my plan has been to try and befriend them, and over time ask them to change ... but the matter of their 2nd hand smoke has accelerated my troubles.

3.) I live in washington state, so if anyone knows any laws here preventing that shit, that would be sweet

4.) The townhomes are brand new. As of right now, there is no homeowners association passing covenants and restrictions. Once the remaining units are sold we will elect officials and all that for the association, but that won't be for 6 months probably.

5.) I have to live next to these foos for 3 to 5 years, so PLEASE don't respond with "drop a flaming bag of shit on their doorstep," "Kick the shit out of them," or "Pump syanide gas into their kitchen window."

Can anyone hook a brotha up with some advice?
