The Municipal Research Council (MRC) was created in 1969 for the purpose of providing cost-saving research services to local governments through one centralized source (RCW 43.110).  The MRC's programs are designed to provide technical expertise that for the most part is not affordable to many local governments and to eliminate duplication of effort that occurs when services are performed separately by individual jurisdictions.

The MRC is required by statute to contract out its services (RCW 43.110.030), which are currently provided to 281 cities and towns, and 39 counties.  Since 1969 the MRC has contracted with the Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington, which is a private, nonprofit organization located in Seattle.
