RCW 64.90.095 Election of preexisting common interest communities.
(1) The declaration of any common interest community created before July 1, 2018, may be amended to provide that this chapter will apply to the common interest community, regardless of what applicable law provided before chapter 277, Laws of 2018 was adopted.
(2) Except as provided otherwise in subsection (3) of this section or in RCW 64.90.285 (9), (10), or (11), an amendment to the governing documents authorized under this section must be adopted in conformity with any procedures and requirements for amending the instruments specified by those instruments and in conformity with the amendment procedures of this chapter. If the governing documents do not contain provisions authorizing amendment, the amendment procedures of this chapter apply. If an amendment grants to a person a right, power, or privilege permitted under this chapter, any correlative obligation, liability, or restriction in this chapter also applies to the person.

(a) The board shall propose such amendment to the owners if the board deems it appropriate or if owners holding twenty percent or more of the votes in the association request such an amendment in writing to the board;
(b) Upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements, the board shall prepare a proposed amendment and shall provide the owners with a notice in a record containing the proposed amendment and at least thirty days' advance notice of a meeting to discuss the proposed amendment;
(c) Following such meeting, the board shall provide the owners with a notice in a record containing the proposed amendment and a ballot to approve or reject the amendment;
