The war on private property
Land Survey Blog details the most restrictive land use law in the nation:
Known as the 65-10 Rule, it calls for landowners to set aside 65 percent of their property and keep it in its natural, vegetative state. According to the rule, nothing can be built on this land, and if a tree is cut down, for example, it must be replanted. Building anything is out of the question.
That’s pretty horrendous.

That’s crazy and un-American. And I’m glad I live one county south of there.
Thanks for pointing out the problem to me. I’m on the case.

yeah, I live in King County. This is amazing. I’m a renter now, but when I graduate from skool, I’m moving north to snohomish to a few acres. I plan to develope about 75% of it in some way or another. Then, when the nonsense moves its way out to where I live, it’ll be too late for the banners.

You’re a bit behind-King County has passed a slightly modified (down from 65% to 50%) version of the law. See my post here.
Incidentally, the 65-10 referred to 65% that must be left in the natural state, and only 10% could be covered with non-permeable covering-i.e. pavement or structures.
And Easycure, you’re not safe. Pierce County passed a similar law, at the 65% level.
How long before my home county (Thurston) follows?
