About MRSC
The Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) is a nonprofit organization that helps local governments across Washington State better serve their communities by providing legal and policy guidance on any topic. At MRSC, we believe the most effective local government is a well-informed one, and as cities, counties, and special purpose districts face rapid changes and significant challenges, we are here to help.
[Ed. Note: We first encountered MRSC while serving on the Planning Commission in Oak Harbor. All of the members of the commission, as well as elected officials and the volunteers on various committees and commissions through out the state receive MRSC’s newsletters. We will share selected articles from MRSC’s newsletters that serve the interests of our readers.]
