Fortifying agritourism.

Washington's HB 2129 eliminates county permitting requirements for agritourism activities on agricultural land. It authorizes events like corn mazes, farm festivals, guided tours, and on-site food sales without county approval, while requiring compliance with public health and safety codes. The bill defines "agritourism" broadly to include educational programs, petting zoos, harvest-your-own operations, and recreational farming activities. This directly affects Washington farmers and ranchers who host public-facing agricultural experiences on their land.
