¶ 16 Statutory interpretation is a question of law we review de novo. Dep't of Ecology v. Campbell & Gwinn, LLC, 146 Wash.2d 1, 9, 43 P.3d 4 (2002). If the statute's meaning is plain on its face, we give effect to that plain meaning. Campbell & Gwinn, 146 Wash.2d at 9-10, 43 P.3d 4. We look to the legislative enactment as a whole to determine the meaning. State v. Pac. Health Ctr., Inc., 135 Wash.App. 149, 159, 143 P.3d 618 (2006). To properly interpret a statute, courts must read statutory provisions together, not in isolation. Judd v. Am. Tel. & Tel. Co., 152 Wash.2d 195, 203, 95 P.3d 337 (2004), rev. denied, 162 Wash.2d 1002, 175 P.3d 1092 (2007).
