Washington requires pool barriers for residential and public pools through state-adopted building code provisions and Department of Health rules ensuring minimum 48-inch fencing.
The Washington State Building Code Council adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code under chapter 51-50 WAC, which requires barriers at least 48 inches high around residential pools, with self-closing self-latching gates. Public pools fall under chapter 246-260 WAC, administered by the Department of Health, requiring six-foot perimeter fencing and lockable gates. These rules are statewide minimums.
Building permit denial, citation, and pool closure orders. Public pools may face license suspension under RCW 70.90.
