Petition Method Annexations
The following documents involve the "old" petition method of annexation that was first invalidated on constitutional grounds by the Washington state supreme court in Grant County Fire Protection Dist. v. Moses Lake, 145 Wn.2d 702 (2002), and then held valid by the same court in Grant County Fire Protection Dist. v. Moses Lake, 150 Wn.2d 791 (2004). Because the procedures and requirements for this method are somewhat different for code cities and for non-code cities (first and second class cities, and towns), the documents below are organized accordingly.
