Washington State has an established process for retrocession of federal military lands. Revised Code of Washington 37.04.050 directs the Governor of Washington State to accept jurisdiction over owned or exclusive federal lands, as necessary to establish concurrent jurisdiction. The statute clarifies that the notice of retrocession must include a description of the property, the period of authorization, and be filed with the secretary of state to become effective. This statute, established in 1979 by HB1176, has been utilized successfully to retrocede exclusive jurisdiction of military lands in Washington State.
