Thirteen other counties have opted to create boards, including Benton, Clallam, Cowlitz, Douglas, Grays Harbor, Kitsap, Lewis, Skagit, Skamania, Thurston, Walla Walla, Whatcom and Yakima counties. Boundary review boards have jurisdiction over municipal annexations, incorporations, disincorporations, and creation or annexation of certain special districts.
