Implementation delayed for new state building codes >>
Gov. Inslee announced a delay in implementing the new state building codes from July 1 to Nov. 1. Construction and developer groups had asked the governor for the delay to ensure builders and officials could be adequately trained on the new codes prior to their implementation. This delay is crucial for builders and developers to be fully educated on the changes in the codes and to allow for the materials to be available locally before the building codes are implemented. The delay impacts these code changes:
