Division:
Office of the Director / Nicole Thomsen, Public Affairs & Policy Manager 
Prior Board Review:
June 13, 2023; July 11, 2023 

Background

RCW 70.05.070 requires the local board of health to enact local rules and regulations as are necessary in order to preserve, promote, and improve the public health and provide for the enforcement thereof.

 

Since June, staff have provided presentations on large sections of the Board of Health Code as the department works to establish a code for the newly formed Snohomish County Health Department.

 

Title 1 is the final section requiring review. It is the “code that governs all other code,” so to speak. Components include authority, board administration, enforcement, fees, and the official newspaper of record.

 
Board Authority

RCW 70.05.060 – Powers and duties of local board of health and Snohomish County Code Chapter 2.300
