Municipal Incorporation |
 | | If the voters approve the proposed incorporation, a primary election to nominate candidates for city council (and, in mayor-council cities, a mayor) and then an election to select the city council must be held. |
 | | This recent surge in incorporation activity, which also includes a number of failed incorporation attempts, can be attributed, to a great extent, to the rapid population growth in the state over the past decade, particularly in the Puget Sound region where all of the recent incorporations have taken place. |
 | | MRSC has responded to this incorporation boom in part by preparing two publications to aid communities in deciding whether to incorporate, in navigating the process of incorporation, and in establishing a viable, functioning city government. |
