The Growth Management Hearings Board unanimously ruled that King County violated the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the Growth Management Act (GMA) when it adopted a broad array of zoning and other land use regulatory changes known as the Adult Beverage Ordinance. The Adult Beverage Ordinance, sponsored by former King County District 3 Councilmember Kathy Lambert, would have allowed alcoholic beverage sales businesses to locate on farmland and rural areas throughout King County.
