These jurisdictions are represented by the counties of Asotin, Benton, Chelan, Clallam, Clark, Columbia, Cowlitz, Douglas, Grant, Grays Harbor, Island, Jefferson, King, Kitsap, Kittitas, Klickitat, Lewis, Mason, Okanogan, Pacific, Pierce, San Juan, Skagit, Skamania, Snohomish, Spokane, Stevens, Thurston, Walla Walla, Whatcom, Whitman, and Yakima. The agreements were written under the provisions of the Civil Defense Act of 1951 and are hereby terminated, as the statute that they were created under is not currently in force. Mutual Aid Agreements are covered in WAC 118-30-060 and promulgated in the 1996 Washington State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP), with changes and supporting plans such as the Washington State Fire Resource Mobilization Plan. Jurisdictions, municipalities, and districts holding these agreements should destroy such documents upon receipt of this letter. Copies held by the Washington State Military Department, Emergency Management Division will be retired to records holding for a period of seven years and then be destroyed.
