Noxious Weed Control Board

The King County Noxious Weed Control Board consists of five volunteers, each representing a particular area of the county, and a non-voting advisory representative from WSU Extension. Board members are appointed by King County Council to carry out the mandates of the Washington Noxious Weed Control Law, Chapter 17.10 RCW. They all reside in King County within their respective district boundaries and share an interest in and knowledge about agriculture and/or the natural resources of the county.

The King County Weed Board meets monthly. Once a year, following the adoption of the State Noxious Weed List by the State Weed Board, the King County Weed Board reviews the changes in the state list and adopts the King County Noxious Weed List. This typically takes place at the January meeting. The County Noxious Weed List reflects both the requirements of State Law WAC 16-750 and the priorities of the King County Noxious Weed Board. The Weed Board encourages public comment and input to help set the priorities of the noxious weed program each year.
