<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In our view, RCW 58.04.007 leaves room for local legislation, particularly legislation designed to implement the statute and facilitate its administration. Since RCW 58.04.007 specifies
only that the agreement be in written form, for instance, a charter county could enact requirements concerning the form of the written agreement (size of the document, what information it should contain, and where on the document each item should be located,
etc.). Insofar as an ordinance providing for pre-recording county review may be concerned, we simply note that counties would appear to have considerable leeway in this area so long as the local legislation does not contravene the statute itself. For instance,
an ordinance providing for review to determine whether a document presented for recording meets the requirements set forth in the statute (see discussion above) (or whether accepting a document for recording would be in conflict with some other state statute
or state or local regulatory requirement[3]) would not necessarily be inconsistent with the statute. At least where a county can show that its ordinance serves a legitimate purpose and does not frustrate or negate the application of RCW 58.04.007 or other
statutes, we believe the ordinance would be upheld.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to do an boundry adjustment and not because there is a boundary line issue like encroachment or fence lines off etc. but use it to avoid the formal process that involves application and approval by appropriate governmental agency. In my opinion the state statute
(RCE 58.04.007) trumps any ordinance or municipal code to the contrary<o:p></o:p></span></p>

latest response is pasted in below. Any thoughts on how to get this across the finish line?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

with underwriting counsel here, we acknowledge that a Boundary Line Agreement is an option to resolve boundary line disputes or discrepancies under RCW 58.04.007. However, in our experience, King County will likely assert their formal boundary line adjustment
administrative review process needs to be followed, too. Presumptively, the City of Seattle would take the same stance. It’s likely building and repair permits would be denied in the future if they don’t obtain city approval. Also, the county assessor might
decline to change the tax roll to match the new boundaries.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

for potential violation of subdivision regulations. This exception could cause issues with the lender and future purchasers, so underwriting counsel does not recommend this course of action.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
