Notes

• Describes the legal genesis and requirements of special districts.
• Discusses and summarizes the Pros and Cons of districts for solving problems.
• Raises questions about accountability of these units of governance, and in chapter 10 identifies general provisions that apply to special purpose districts, including SEPA:

"In Washington, most of the basic legal guidelines set out by the legislature for the conduct of government apply to all political subdivisions of the state. MRSC’s publication, Knowing the Territory: Basic Legal Guidelines for Washington City and County Officials, though written for county and city officials, may be of value for understanding many of those requirements."
