Applicable Cases
Proceedings for initiating annexation of unincorporated territory to a charter code city or
noncharter code city may be commenced by the filing of a petition of property owners of the territory
proposed to be annexed, in the following manner. This method of annexation shall be alternative to
other methods provided in this chapter. Prior to the circulation of a petition for annexation, the
initiating party or parties, who shall be the owners of not less than ten percent in value, according to
the assessed valuation for general taxation of the property for which annexation is sought, shall notify
the legislative body of the code city in writing of their intention to commence annexation
proceedings. The legislative body shall set a date, not later than sixty days after the filing of the
request, for a meeting with the initiating parties to determine whether the code city will accept, reject,
or geographically modify the proposed annexation, whether it shall require the simultaneous adoption
of a proposed zoning regulation, if such a proposal has been prepared and filed for the area to be
annexed as provided for in RCW 35A.14.330 and 35A.14.340, and whether it shall require the
assumption of all or of any portion of existing city indebtedness by the area to be annexed. If the
legislative body requires the assumption of all or of any portion of indebtedness and/or the adoption
of a proposed zoning regulation, it shall record this action in its minutes and the petition for
annexation shall be so drawn as to clearly indicate these facts. Approval by the legislative body shall
be a condition precedent to circulation of the petition. There shall be no appeal from the decision of
the legislative body. A petition for annexation of an area contiguous to a code city may be filed with
the legislative body of the municipality to which annexation is desired. It must be signed by the
owners, as defined by RCW 35A.01.040(9) (a) through (d), of not less than sixty percent in value,
according to the assessed valuation for general taxation of the property for which annexation is
petitioned: PROVIDED, That a petition for annexation of an area having at least eighty percent of
the boundaries of such area contiguous with a portion of the boundaries of the code city, not
including that portion of the boundary of the area proposed to be annexed that is coterminous with a
portion of the boundary between two counties in this state, need be signed by only the owners of not
less than fifty percent in value according to the assessed valuation for general taxation of the property
for which the annexation is petitioned. Such petition shall set forth a description of the property
according to government legal subdivisions or legal plats and shall be accompanied by a map which
outlines the boundaries of the property sought to be annexed. If the legislative body has required the
assumption of all or any portion of city indebtedness by the area annexed or the adoption of a
proposed zoning regulation, these facts, together with a quotation of the minute entry of such
requirement, or requirements, shall also be set forth in the petition.
