Whatcom County a "Sasquatch Protection and Refuge Area"?

So a post on the TIL subreddit pointed out that, at least in Skamania county, it is illegal to kill a Bigfoot. I checked out a little bit more of the Wikipedia page it links to and it turns out Whatcom county either is, or was, a "Sasquatch Protection and Refuge Area".

Does anyone know anything else about this? Is the resolution still in effect, etc?
