| • | Adding tree-of-heaven, Ailanthus altissima, as a Class C noxious weed. |
| • | Adding Japanese eelgrass, Zostera japonica, as a Class C noxious weed (on commercially managed shellfish beds only). |
| • | Clarifying the designation of Hoary alyssum, Berteroa incana, in Okanogan County. |
| • | Undesignating Hairy willow-herb, Epilobium hirsutum, in Walla Walla County. |
| • | Correcting the scientific name of Bohemian knotweed to Polygonum x bohemicum. |
| • | Adding a new section on noxious weed listing guidelines (WAC 16-750-022). |
| • | Changing the date for the election of board officers, and changing the committee appointment term dates. |
