A bill before Seattle City Council next week would remove a redundant appeals step that almost never changes a decision but routinely delays new housing for months.
This statement is factually incorrect. Please edit for accuracy "It removes one local detour that the state already closed everywhere else in Washington." The director's report that you have sourced your list from has a column right next to it of some cities and counties that still have a pre-decisional hearing examiner process.
Olympia, Spokane, Snohomish and many other municipalities across the state still use this predecisional process which is allowed by the state legislature, as David Mann in the court of appeals Division 1 said the legislature knows how to amend their statutes and if they meant to take it away they would have. You can look that up from the March 4th Court of Appeals division 1 recording on TVW.
