Wenatchee Sportsmen Ass'n v. Chelan County

(dissenting) — The majority decision permits Chelan County to flout the Growth Management Act (GMA) by allowing urban development outside an interim urban growth boundary. Rather than interpreting the law in a *183way that upholds the goals of the GMA and the intent of the Legislature, the majority finds yet another way to allow what the GMA was enacted to prevent — sprawling development. See, e.g., Association of Rural Residents v. Kitsap County, 141 Wn.2d 185, 4 P.3d 115 (2000); Skagit Surveyors & Eng’rs, LLC v. Friends of Skagit County, 135 Wn.2d 542, 958 P.2d 962 (1998). I dissent.
