Reminder: Seasonal Agricultural & Political Signs not allowed in County Road right of way

SKAGIT COUNTY -
It is once again the time of year in Skagit County for selling fresh fruits and vegetables at temporary stands and for posting of political signs by candidates in anticipation of the primaries and fall elections. Both are worthwhile and valid reasons for promotional signage. However, both State Law and Skagit County Code do not allow the placement of such signing within County or State right of way - even on a temporary basis. These types of signs are allowed on private property with certain restrictions and with property owner permission.

If you, or someone you know, have placed either of these types of signage adjacent to a county road or state highway, please make immediate arrangements to move them off the right of way and onto private property (with proper permission, of course). Questions regarding this issue may be addressed to:
