Crab Cracker moves to Parkplace, receives new name BY RAECHEL DAWSON

estaurant owner Todd Jones said he gets about 50 calls a day from people asking when the Crab Cracker will reopen. Although he expects the Liquor Control Board to issue the restaurant’s liquor license any day now, he’s not quite sure. He applied for the license two months ago, just after the restaurant closed at the end of 2013 when their lease expired after 30 years of business. But when the seafood restaurant does open, patrons can expect a new location and a slightly different name. What was once a TGI Fridays and Parkplace Pub, is now Todd’s Crab Cracker. The business need only move across the street to Parkplace Center, as they settle into their new location above Kirkland
Parkplace Cinema 6. “We worked hard on bringing the Crab Cracker to 2014,” said Jones, the son of Shirley Day, the previous owner. “We really want to make it a very fun and vibrant place for people to come.” Although the new spot is smaller than the old restaurant - 9,600 square feet, compared to 13,000 square feet - it makes up the difference with its open layout and bright natural lighting from large windows that point toward the west. Jones’s favorite part is the outdoor patio that will open on or before Memorial Day weekend. The patio will include a custom-made 25-foot long fire bar, which was made from the old restaurant’s floor boards. Winter was a busy time for the old restaurant, but summer, not so much. Of course, winter is about nine months in Washington, Jones joked,
Kirkland caregiver charged in hit-and-run death BY RAECHEL DAWSON AND SARAH KEHOE Reporter Newspapers
A Lynnwood man and Kirkland area caregiver was recently charged in a hit-and-run that left one Kenmore woman dead on March 14. Kwesi Gyesi, 53, faces one count of felony hitand-run for failing to get out of his vehicle and follow proper procedure after he struck 20-year-old Sarah Paulson at a Kenmore crosswalk at the intersection of Juanita Drive Northeast and Northeast 160th Street. At 7 a.m., Paulson was on her way to catch a
metro bus that she rode to Bellevue College. Charging documents state Paulson was mid-way through the crosswalk, which was unlit and dark at the time of the accident, when a witness saw a vehicle strike her. Paulson later died at Harborview Medical Center a couple hours later from collision-related injuries. The witness saw the driver pull over but did not see the driver get out to check on the accident. A short while later, the driver drove off, charging documents state. “Another driver did exit [ more CHARGES page 3 ]
Todd Jones stands at his restaurant’s new location, which is above Kirkland Parkplace Cinema 6. Jones purchased the business after his mother Shirley Day, the previous owner, passed away. The Crab Cracker, which has been renamed Todd’s Crab Cracker, has been a part of Kirkland for three decades. RAECHEL DAWSON, Kirkland Reporter but he’d rather have all of the seasons. A large bar sits in the middle of the new location and it won’t go to waste. “We’re looking at designing a whole new signature hand-crafted
cocktail menu,” Jones said. “We’ll make our own bitters, steep different ingredients up on the bar and have a countdown on drinks.” The new restaurant will open at 4 p.m. and close at
12 a.m., keeping the same happy hour, but adding a late happy hour to the mix as an effort to keep the place vibrant. “It’ll give movie theatergoers a place to go after,” Jones said, adding that
hours could change in the late spring if they decide to open up early for lunch. A lower-priced menu with smaller portions, newer appetizers and more salads aren’t the only [ more CRACKER page 2 ]
Kirkland native launches tree climbing business BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Katie Oakley estimates she’s climbed about a couple hundred trees in her life. And now, the 24-year-old has created a business that teaches others to climb. “I want to reconnect people with nature so that it instills a more caring approach on their part,” said Oakley, who graduated from Juanita High School. “Especially in Kirkland, we all want to be green. But, well, why?” Her enterprise goes by the name Tree Time LLC. And her mission is to have people experience being in trees so that there’s a deeper understanding of why they should be protected. Oakley found her passion after she read a book called
Tree climbers using the rope system Katie Oakley’s Tree Time LLC employs. CONTRIBUTED “The Wild Trees” for a forestry class at the University of Washington. The book described the adventure of climbing the redwoods in such detail that it made her want to try it herself. “I found this guy named Tim Kovar down in Oregon
and I went and climbed,” she said. “I was already a teacher and my degree was in ecology and it all just kind of came together. This is what I want to do.” Working at Kirklandbased Angelfish Swimming as a swim instructor on the
side, Oakley took a 50-hour course at Tree Climbing Planet in Oregon that taught her the ins and outs of tree climbing — a basic course, she said. After one year of practice, she took another 50-hour course, but this time it was to learn how to facilitate climbs. Although she launched her business last summer, her first open climb will be this weekend on March 23. Getting the appropriate permits from city parks has been somewhat of a struggle but she was finally able to work out a deal with Marymoor Park in Redmond. “I’m the only one in the area doing this,” she said. “The city of Kirkland has told me at this time they’re not [ more TREE page 8]

changes patrons will see or taste. “We’re going in with refreshed attitude,” Jones said. “We’re excited about the changes. We’ll be keeping 40 percent of the old menu.” Jones said they’re still working on the new dishes but assures it will be more fresh and local, as that’s the “trend these days.” Before, the Crab Cracker was obligated to sell crab and often sold it for $40 per pound and a quarter - fairly cheap compared to competitors who sold it at $70 per pound. Now, the restaurant’s dishes will “appeal to the masses.” But 30-year regulars shouldn’t be concerned. “We’ll still do what we can to accommodate old customers,” he said. Jones said when he and staff were going through the old menu, they compiled a
list of “untouchable dishes” but it totaled to about 65 percent of the menu. “It was difficult, it was too much of the old menu,” Jones said, adding that every time they tried to change the menu at the previous location, they’d have cliental ordering old items from 30 years ago. Favorite dishes, such as Seattle Style Cioppino - braised clams, mussels, salmon, prawns, scallops and snow crab in a spicy tomato and sherry broth with fresh herbs - and the Cedar Planked King Salmon, remain on the untouchable list. Although there are many new elements to the restaurant, the spirit of the previous owner and Jones’s mother, Shirley Day, will be kept alive. Day passed away in December 2012 after operating the Crab Cracker for 29 years with husband Robin Day. “We have this whole side room that holds about 30

people and we’re calling it Shirley’s room,” he said slightly teary-eyed when asked how Day’s legacy would live on at the new location. And many community groups, such as the Kirkland Kiwanis and Kirkland Rotary, will return to the new restaurant. “They’re thrilled. Mom was good friends with them,” Jones recalled. Before the Crab Cracker’s lease expired, Jones looked at different locations across Bellevue, Woodinville and Redmond. “Nothing was gonna work for us,” he said, adding that he bought his stepdad’s ownership rights after his mother passed away. The lease expired at the end of 2013 and he knew the location would be developed with an apartment complex. He decided to keep the catering branch of the business, called Epicurean Catering, and found one spot in Redmond. But a last-minute phone call changed the seafood restaurant’s course. “Just when we were getting ready to move, Jeff Cole called and asked if we were still interested in the Parkplace location,” Jones said. “The timing was pretty extraordinary.” Cole is the owner of the Kirkland Parkplace Cinema
6 and the leasing agent for Parkplace Center. Jones was interested in the spot, but couldn’t rent it since Touchstone Corp. wanted to develop the Parkplace project as soon as possible. Things changed, however, when Prudential overtook ownership. Jones’s perception is that Prudential is more conservative with their plans. Things seemed to fall into place but with two caveats: Jones had to bring back the restaurant portion of the business and the terms of the lease indicated it would be a one year lease on a revolving nine-month basis. Jones said he hopes to stay at Parkplace for four more years and is fairly confident since Cole just made a large investment in converting to digital movies. “I really didn’t see Jeff putting in a huge investment if they’re just going to tear [Parkplace] down,” he said. Since then, Jones, staff and outside help have been renovating their new spot since the day after the Super Bowl. “It’s been a huge undertaking,” Jones said. “In a good way.” Todd’s Crab Cracker is now located at 505 Parkplace Center in Kirkland.

Paulson vigil It was Paulson’s big smile and the contagious love of life, her family and friends that were remembered the most during a candlelight vigil Monday night. Around 300 people stood in a circle with lit candles, praying and embracing each other at Rhododendron Park in Kenmore. There was a moment of silence then an invitation for attendees to come to the center of the circle and say something about Paulson. “She always had a huge smile on her face and gave everyone lots of hugs,” said Mary-Alyce Burleigh, a friend and former Kirkland mayor. “She had the greatest spirit of anyone I’ve ever known.” Paulson was in her 20s and graduated from Inglemoor High School in 2011. She was enrolled in the Occupational and Life Skills program at Bellevue College, which is an innovative 90-credit associate degree program. It gives adults with cognitive disabilities the opportunity to acquire an accredited college degree. “Sarah was a leader among the students, everyone
just loved her,” said Marci Muhlestein, program director. “She always was a positive person. Her favorite thing to say was ‘no excuses;’ she was determined to be successful no matter what.” Paulson was in her third year at the college and had one year left. She was on her way to graduating with honors and wanted to be a costume designer or attendant for Broadway stars. “She had such an impact here that we planned to have a memorial for her [yesterday] and unfortunately had to turn some people away because it was so full,” Muhlestein said. At the memorial, students picked a characteristic of Paulson they appreciated the
most and write it on a piece of paper to create a chain. “Sarah was an amazing, bright spirit,” said Larry Morris, family friend. “Although you could see in her face that life wasn’t easy, she never complained. She always made everyone around her feel good.” Paulson was also involved in many extracurricular activities including the Special Olympics and the Northshore Wranglers. “If you just look around here tonight you see all different kinds of people here,” Burleigh said. “She was always on the move, involved in so many things and had so many different kinds of friends.” Janet Jones knew her since
Paulson was five years old. “She was always so full of love,” Jones said. “She was so energetic and happy. Sarah made everyone around her feel good.” She and Samantha Bush were friends and attended Inglemoor together. “We had lunch together at least every Friday of my senior year,” Bush said. “I picture her now, excitedly waving at me in the halls and running up to hug me between classes. She made everything fun. She was a
real bright spot in my day, every day.” Paulson’s friend Alan Bridgeford played “Amazing Grace” and “Lean on Me” on his accordion while the crowd sang along. “I loved Sarah,” Bridgeford said. “She stayed with me at Children’s Hospital and was a great friend.” A memorial for Paulson appeared over the weekend on the northeast corner of the intersection. Dozens of flowers surround a photo of Paulson.
How To Sell A House That Didn’t Sell If your home has just come off the market and hasn’t sold, don’t be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale. So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell? Last year many of the homes listed for sale never sold at all, and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount a homeowner needed to be educated on to sell their home for top dollar in the shortest time period.

Gyesi called 911 sixteen minutes after the accident and police responded to a Kirkland apartment complex located at the 7300 block of Northeast 141st Place. Gyesi said he was driving to the apartment complex to begin work. Charging documents state he is a caregiver with Shared Journeys in Seattle. He told police he heard the hit, pulled over for 10 to 15 minutes and then drove away. He told police he did not know what he hit and that he had to relieve a coworker, charging documents state. Additionally, he had left his cell phone at work, which was three minutes from the accident. Gyesi was allegedly driving an 2012 Hyundai Tucson SUV, which police concluded had damage consistent with the accident. The SUV had a broken headlight, dent on the right side and a smear underneath the right headlight area. After police pressed Gyesi for more information, he requested an attorney to be present.

What did legislators do this session?
I
t is becoming clearer what new laws will emerge from the two-month legislative session. For those keeping count, 11 had been added to the books as of March 12 with dozens of bills still to be sent to Gov. Jay Inslee for his signing in the coming weeks. Not every piece of legislation earns a headline. Here are a few that have, and have not. Maximum Funblock for Minors: Teenagers are barred from using tanning beds unless they have a prescription from their doctor for a few doses of artificial sun. And if you look 17 or younger, prepare to show a photo ID in order to use the equipment. Left turns on red: It’s going to be legal for motorcyclists soon. If a motorcycle does not trigger a traffic light to change and the rider waits through a full cycle of the signal, they can run it. No peeking: Unmanned aerial systems, aka drones, will keep flying overhead. But city, county and state law enforcement agencies can’t equip them with a “extraordinary sensing device” to track people below for an investigation without a warrant. Vino to go: Growlers aren’t just for beer drinking. Owners of Washington wineries will soon be able to sell growlers and kegs of wine at their tasting rooms. Customers can also bring in their own growler for a fill up. Gin and tonic, hold the rummy: Nonprofit senior centers can soon add happy hour to their list of daily activities. Centers can obtain a liquor license to sell spirits, wine and beer every day as long as they offer some food service. Until now, centers needed to buy a special occasion license if they wanted to sell booze at a specific event. Keep your plates, please: The requirement to
replace license plates every seven years is ending. Now, plates will change when the ownership of a vehicle changes although the new owner can apply to keep them. And speaking of plates: Backers of breast cancer research and Seattle University will be able to show support with a license plate. Sales of the breast cancer awareness plate will aid the state Department of Health’s breast, cervical, and colon health programs. Seattle University will use proceeds it collects for student scholarships for current and incoming students.

Cleaning up due to past land or business use
Cleanup Program works to remedy these situations, which range from cleaning up contamination from leaking underground storage tanks, to large, complex projects requiring engineered solutions. Washington codes set forth the requirements for reporting a release of a hazardous substance due to past activities, whether discovered before or after the effective date of this regulation. It also sets forth the requirements for reporting independent remedial actions. The Department of Ecology may take any other actions it deems appropriate to identify potential hazardous waste sites. Reports are to be made within 90 days of discovery, except that releases from underground storage tanks shall be reported within 24 hours and any remedial actions planned, completed or underway must be reported. Who files the report with Department of Ecology? All persons who have knowledge of, or suspect these situations. There are state laws for additional reporting requirements for independent remedial actions for clean-up and independent remedial actions for releases from underground storage tanks. Within 90 days of receiving information, the department of Ecology shall conduct an initial investigation in accordance with Washington code and review reports that document independent cleanup actions. The review shall include an evaluation of whether the site qualifies for removal from the hazardous sites list or whether further remedial action is required.

Sibling House provides a new focus for foster care Kirkland based Sibling House will hold its annual fundraiser at The Washington Athletic Club in Seattle on March 22. Revenue raised at the event funds Sibling House’s core programs, including academic support for children and mentorships for foster caregivers, aiding a growing network of over 225 local foster homes. “We have personally seen that when kids remain with their siblings, it carries over into many different areas of their lives,” said Sibling House co-founder Michael Gaskill. “They do better in school, in relationships with other kids and with their foster families.” Every year in the United States close to 300,000 children are separated from their siblings when they enter foster care. Sibling House, a nonprofit organization, has a mission of keeping siblings together while in foster care. Founded in 1997 by Eastside residents Michael and
Domestic violence: 10:32 p.m., 11400 block of 115th Lane NE. A 21-year-old man was cited for allegedly breaking his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend’s lamp and stealing her Samsung Galaxy cell phone during a heated argument. Domestic violence: 10:32 p.m., 13700 block of 108th Ave. NE. A 22-year-old woman and her 23-year-old estranged husband got into a verbal argument about keeping each other from seeing their kids, as they are separated. The argument occurred from Lake City Way into Kirkland after the wife found her husband at a strip club. Police state no crime occurred.
March 8 Warrant: 1 a.m., 9400 block of NE 120th St. A 53-year-old man was arrested on a civil contempt of court misdemeanor warrant. Police discovered the warrant after they were called to his house because of an argument over his 54-year-old girlfriend detoxing from alcohol. Nothing physical was reported. Order violation: 3:15 p.m., 9800 block of NE 128th St. A 37-year-old man was cited for violating a no-contact order between him and his 46-year-old ex-girlfriend. The woman called 911 and hung up while the suspect was over collecting his things.
March 7 Warrant: 11:45 a.m., 12500 block of Totem Lake Boulevard NE. A 49-year-old Renton man was arrested after police stopped him in his 1992 BMW on a traffic offense and found he had two felony warrants. Theft: 2:56 p.m., 8600 block of 120th Ave. NE. A 46-year-old woman was taken into custody after Costco Wholesale Loss Prevention observed her putting razor blades, Crest white strips, a cosmetic brush set and underwear - a $165 value - into her canvas bag without paying for the items.
Lynne Gaskill, Sibling House is working hard to fulfill its mission and has provided much needed support to nearly 700 Washington children and their caregivers. Research compiled by the Child Welfare Information Gateway in 2013 showed that siblings separated by the foster care process “describe this experience as ‘an extra punishment, a separate loss, and another pain that is not needed.’” Through Sibling House programs, siblings can stay connected whether they are living in the same foster home or not. This opportunity is provided through both academic and social programs that allow them to focus more on being children, than living as a “foster child.” Sibling House’s programs include: mentoring and outreach to homes that take in sibling groups, plus academic tutoring, outdoor experiences in nature, and support for enrichment activities like swimming lessons, little league, trips to the zoo, and more, for foster children.

Homeowners and homebuilders see value in “smart” appliances (StatePoint) When you think of “smart technology,” you may think of your smartphone, tablet or vehicle, but soon, you may also think of such household appliances as your dishwasher, refrigerator or laundry pair. Home building professionals nationwide increasingly are working with manufacturers to install smart appliances into new and remodeled homes, in light of new government standards, technology advances and a focus on energy efficiency. “Smart appliances provide greater convenience, reduce energy consumption and help people live a more sustainable lifestyle,” said Maureen Sertich, North America sustainability lead at Whirlpool Corporation, which manufactures Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and Amana appliance brands. “These transformative technologies allow
consumers to learn about their energy use and connect to their appliances online to actively manage their home energy consumption.” According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 13 percent of the energy used in a typical home can be attributed to just four common appliances — the refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer and clothes dryer. But that will soon change, as leading companies take steps to improve upon energy efficient designs of these four appliances, with the added assistance of smart appliance technology. For example, Whirlpool Corporation recently
launched 6th Sense Live technology, which allows homeowners to control appliances from their computer or smartphone. For instance, homeowners can activate a washer fan for forgotten wet clothes; and the refrigerator will send a text message when the power supply has been disrupted so people can know if their food is safe to eat. Smart appliances from these pioneering brands can also track energy consumption and connect to the “smart grid,” a modernized electric grid being rolled out nationwide that uses communications technology to more effectively manage electricity demand. This means that, with consumer permission,
the appliance can respond to utility signals asking it to postpone or cutback operations when energy demand is high or more expensive. This year, one of the nation’s largest production home builders, KB Home, is collaborating with Whirlpool Corporation to roll out these smart-grid ready appliances to all KB Home communities nationwide. More information on smart-grid-ready and sustainable appliances, can be found at www.SmartGrid.gov or www.Whirlpool.com. Learning more about smart technology for your home can save you money and make your home more planet-friendly in the process.

What’s going on with fish oil burps?
Cassandra Lanning
from your tummy. Well, by bypassing your stomach, you have kept many of the digestive triggers shut down. Your body doesn’t know there is something there with nutrients it needs to absorb. Fish oil is a fat, obviously. Fat requires a particular set of digestive triggers in order to be assimilated. When fat is in the stomach, fat digesting enzymes are triggered. As the fat moves from the stomach through to the small intestine it triggers bile from the gall bladder and more fat digesting enzymes from the pancreas. Fat itself must be present to trigger the fat digesting enzymes. No fat, no trigger and no absorption. If you have coated the fat with a man-made

coating, it becomes invisible to the body and just passes through without triggering digestion. It might, however, provide you with gas and loose stools. Way better than fish oil burps, right? So that results in no absorption of the nutrients, which is the reason for taking the fish oil in the first place. So, why do you get fish oil burps? Because it is not being properly emulsified in your stomach and it is becoming rancid. And yes, it can become rancid in a very short time. What causes rancidity to take place? A low-fat/no-fat diet.

ou don’t like to take fish oil because you get those nasty fish oil burps. So to combat that, someone recommended you take “enteric coated” fish oil capsules. No more fishy burps, right? Well, maybe. But guess what else there is “no more” of? Absorption of nutrients! That’s right. Enteric coated fish oil capsules provide zero nutritional value to your body. Here’s how it works. You take the enteric coated fish oil capsules, and because of the coating, they don’t break down in the stomach, but move right on through to the far end of the small intestine where they finally break apart and continue through you. So no icky fish oil coming

interested in pursuing tree climbing in their parks because it’s a risk.” But the Everett resident said, according to the Tree Climbers International, in the 30 years of climbing with the rope method she employs, there have been zero reported accidents. Ten months after applying for permits, Marymoor park officials agreed to let her use their trees for climbing. But she has to work around concerts and big events at the park and notify officials a week in advance. Oakley also has Kirkland-based Certified Arborist Tree Care LLC assess each tree before she facilitates climbing to ensure
the trees are healthy enough. Once the trees are deemed climbable by the arborist and Oakley, they’re open for newcomers. “When you first get on the rope, you feel extremely uncoordinated,” she said. “One of the most enjoyable parts of facilitating is watching a child and a parent learn something new together. A lot of the time the parent wants to coach the child and then they get on the rope and they realize ‘oh, this is not as easy as I think.’” Climbers get 30 minutes of prepping and safety instruction before they strap themselves in a tree harness — unlike a rock climbing harness — and learn the rope maneuver technique,

It’s really a good confidence builder.” Oakley said there are different rope systems for different heights, noting that one of her highest ropes has been 70 feet high. Tree Time offers open climbs one to two times a month and has several scheduled this spring. She said almost anyone over the age of six can climb. “One of the camps I’m working with is a special needs camp,” she said. “They work with kids with special needs, handicaps — anybody can climb, really.” Oakley said she also hosts children’s birthday parties in www.VillageTheatre.org
the trees. She’ll set up a tree boat, a hammock-like structure with four tie-off points, and as long as the group is small — four to five kids — children can open presents in the tree. Next season, spring/summer of 2015, Oakley hopes to expand her services to include overnight stays using the tree boat. She plans on taking two to three climbers out to Tolt River, near Carnation, for the overnight stay. “We’d have a campfire and a dinner kind of thing and then crawl up for the night,” she said. “It’s amazing to wake up in the trees. I get tingles just thinking about it.” Oakley said she’s spent the night in trees in the past with other climbers and is in the process of talking with King County officials on getting permission to do the overnight stays at Tolt River. Next year Oakley will also host the International Tree Climber Rendezvous at the Pack Forest Conference Center, which is owned by the University of Washington’s School of Environmental and Forest Sciences. Aside from expanding her business services, Oakley’s five year plan includes working with more corporate offices, such as Microsoft and Google, and teaching more children how to climb

at summer camps — possibly running her own summer camp, as well. But her real longterm goal is to open a forest educational center. “We’ve got ocean education centers … they have an orca education center right on the beach,” she said. “We don’t have anything like that for the forest.” Although she acknowledges there are ranger stations, she said her center would incorporate tree climbing as the core of the facility. “I don’t want to get into canopy walks, there’s a lot of canopy walks out there and there’s a lot of adrenaline stuff out there and that’s not what this is,” she said. “It’s a place to be, not a thing to do.” And with a bachelor in science degree in ecology and conservation, Oakley said she’s not one to shy away from getting involved with a research team. “A lot of it is this entirely unexplored ecosystem from the scientists’ point of view,” she said. “Nobody’s really studying the canopy and there are very few researchers doing it … So that was really intriguing to me, that it’s unexplored.” Oakley said there’s little research on the canopy because there’s few climbers, which she hopes to change with her business. Although her first open climb is this weekend, Oakley said her big month will be April, as the focus centers around Earth Day on April 22. She’ll have two Earth Day open climbs — the first from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 19 and the second from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 27. To join an open climb, patrons need only pay $25. It’s $300 for those who want their own private climb for up to nine climbers and $400 for lunch included. For more information, visit www.climbwithtreetime.com or the Tree Time Facebook page.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain
HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and
says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502. Now at:

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
