NOTES:

Intent—2013 c 154: "The legislature recognizes the city of Enumclaw as the gateway to the Chinook scenic byway in western Washington. As such, it is the legislature's intent to set the western terminus of the byway within Enumclaw's city limits. It is further the legislature's intent to make attractions within the city of Enumclaw eligible for future grant opportunities by establishing an all-encompassing entrance point for the Chinook scenic byway." [ 2013 c 154 § 1.]

Effective dates—1991 c 342: See note following RCW 47.01.425.

Legislative finding—1990 c 240: "The legislature finds that scenic and recreational highways are designated because of a need to develop management plans that will protect and preserve the scenic and recreational resources from loss through inappropriate development. Protection of scenic and recreational resources includes managing land use outside normal highway rights-of-way. The legislature recognizes that scenic and recreational highways are typically located in areas that are natural in character, along watercourses or through mountainous areas, or in areas with a view of such scenery."
