 50883-1-I - Thom Satterlee, et al., Appellants v. Snohomish County and State of Wa., Respondents
Munro1 held that the creation of a county is a matter within the discretion of the legislature and not something the legislature is under a mandatory duty to do upon presentation of petitions of the requisite number of voters of the proposed new county.
This court affirmed the dismissal, holding that Freedom County is not a lawfully established county of the State.2 In the present case, both sides filed motions for summary judgment.
Because the legislature did not have a duty to create Freedom County upon presentation of the petitions, and because it did not create the county, the court held that Freedom County is not a lawfully established county and was therefore unable to maintain the lawsuit.
