When interpreting the Charter and its application, the county and its officials will ensure that any interpretation, unless prohibited by law, affords the county those powers granted to Charter counties by the State of Washington.

The word “law” shall mean the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington unless context indicates otherwise.
