Based on a Sightline survey, of the 62 largest WA cities that have landmark ordinances:
48 require owner consent for landmarking
14 do not
In WA, cities that don't require owner consent are the outliers.
HB 1576/SB 5554 would set a state standard aligned with what most cities already do.

Oregon state law requires it, statewide.
