Hello John:
I’m a painter in the Seattle area and deal with mold on a regular basis. All you need to do is use a garden sprayer,( the plastic type with a hand pump on top, about $20.00) and spray on a bleach and water mix. Go about 4 to 1 water to bleach to start, and the mold should disappear before your eyes. If needed, add more bleach. Once the mold disappears, ( about a minute or so), take a garden hose and rinse it off.
YES,it's that easy.
I should add the obvious, bleach WILL kill plants if they get too much of it, but WILL NOT discolor the paint.
You can also try a premixed chemical called 30 second cleaner, but the ingredients are about the same. Also, I prefer a pressure washer over a garden hose, but not every homeowner owns one.
And by the way, I've driven by your LE house, very nice.
