Chapman named to building code council

Rep. Mike Chapman, D-Port Angeles, recently was appointed to the State Building Code Council as the House Democrat’s representative.

The State Building Code Council was created to advise legislators about building code issues and to develop the building codes used in Washington.

“There is much work to accomplish, especially regarding CLT (cross-laminated timber) building codes,” Chapman said.
