    Port Orchard, Washington has adopted: THE BUILDING CODE IS IN TITLE 20, NOT TITLE 15. POMC Chapter 20.200, CITY CONSTRUCTION CODE, is the live chapter; § 20.200.008 is "State building code adopted".; THE OBVIOUS PLACE IS DEAD: POMC Chapter 15.04 reads "Chapter 15.04 BUILDING CODE (Repealed by Ord. 019-17)" — and is still listed by name in Title 15's contents.
