What is the Growth Management Hearings Board?
The GMA established Growth Management Hearings Boards to hear disputes arising from the adoption of comprehensive plans and development regulations. There are three Growth Management Hearings Boards: the Eastern Board for counties and cities east of the Cascade Mountains; the Central Puget Sound Board for the four Central Puget Sound counties and the cities within these counties; and the Western Board for all other counties and cities west of the Cascade Mountains. The Eastern Board hears disputes from Kittitas County.
