<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Establishment">Establishment</h3></div>

<p>In the first half-century of statehood, there was no official compilation of the laws of the state. Two private publishers independently compiled and published statutes enacted by the Washington state legislature into bound volumes: Remington Revised Statutes and Pierce's Perpetual Code. In 1951 the legislature enacted a common numbering system for the state's laws and published an official codex known as the <a href="Revised_Code_of_Washington" title="Revised Code of Washington">Revised Code of Washington</a> (RCW). The publication of the RCW was accompanied by the creation of the office of Code Reviser.<sup id="cite_ref-oral_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-oral-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
