§ 16.38.310. Highway facilities—State succeeds to all rights when.

A.

If any highway or portion thereof becomes a state highway, except for the right to continue to collect franchise payments and such other rights as by law remain with the county, the state shall succeed to all rights reserved to the county by the franchise; but this provision shall not preclude the grantee from receiving reimbursement for the relocation of its facilities if and to the extent otherwise lawfully entitled thereto.

B.

This section applies to any highway or portion thereof which becomes a state highway in which the grantee maintains its facilities under the authorization of the franchise at the time such highway or such portion thereof becomes a state highway, whether at such time it is under the jurisdiction of the county, or of a city or of any public entity.

C.

This section does not require any change of location in a state highway for a temporary purpose.
