Washington State's Growth Management Act (GMA) [Chapter 36.70A Revised Code of Washington (RCW)] requires many cities and counties to review and update their Comprehensive Plans (Plan) every ten years to ensure they are up-to-date and remain relevant.
The next update to the City of Morton Comprehensive Plan is currently due at the end of June 2025. The 2025 Update will plan for population and housing growth from 2025 to 2045.
