BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

The legislature further finds that local governments have sufficient expertise and ability to make thoughtful land use and planning decisions that are consistent with local needs and preferences, and that a state-directed approach to land use and planning disregards the insight and responsiveness that can only be accessed through local decision makers. The legislature, therefore, intends to repeal chapter 36.70A RCW, the growth management act.
