This posting provides perspective of how widely Special Districts
are used, and where, in the State Of Washington.
Washington Park & Recreation Special Districts
There are four types of special districts relating to parks and
recreation: Park and Recreation Districts (Ch. 36.69 RCW), Park and
Recreation Service Areas (RCW 36.68.400 - .620), Joint Park and
Recreation District (RCW 36.69.420 - .460), and Metropolitan Park
Districts (Ch. 35.61 RCW).
The purpose of this table is to list information about known park
and recreation districts. This table may not list all the districts
in existence, and some of the districts listed may no longer be
active. The list was complied from Department of Revenue Tax Code
Areas, Property Tax Statistics, Washington State Year Book, and Web
searches. If you have information to update this page, please send
