Background:

Washington has 26 armories located around the state. Although the armories are primarily for military use, an armory may be rented or used for casual civil purposes and amateur and professional sports and theatricals. Renters must make a payment of fixed rental charges and must comply with the regulations of the Washington State Military Department. The Adjutant General prepares a schedule of rental charges to be charged for the use of an armory by a civilian. Rental charges derived from the armory rentals, less the cleaning deposit, are deposited into the Military Department Rental and Lease Account.

Summary:

State-owned armories may be rented or leased for public or private uses, not just casual civil purposes, sports or theatricals. Renters must be charged for the rental based on the schedule of rental charges prepared by the Adjutant General.
