New public safety boat ready for duty ‘Sentinel’ built with $600k federal grant By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Toast to support, ‘magic’ FHHS Class of 2014 bolstered by $300K in local scholarships By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

If you thought that graduation was all about the graduates, think again. For the Friday Harbor High School Class of 2014, it’s about you. From the opening “Welcome” address by Associated Student Body President Erin McCauley, to concluding speeches by class co-valedictorians Emily Guard and Libby Snow, representatives of the Friday Harbor High School Class of 2014 made it clear that high school graduation is a collective cause, and that Saturday’s

commencement ceremony was as much about family, friends, supporters, mentors, employers and well-wishers, as it was about those donned in that night in the capand-gown. “When I ran for student body president I knew I have to give a speech and I knew what I wanted to say,” McCauley said. “But when it came time to write it got difficult. And all I really want to say is ‘Thank You.’ We couldn’t have gotten here without you.” Conjuring up the ceremony’s Harry Potter trappings and with a nod to the series about “The Boy Who Lived,” (the class motto is a line out of “Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire”), Snow noted that the graduates got to where they are now in large part thanks to, “… the help of our friends and a little magic.” And as in year’s past, the Friday Harbor community celebrated the

achievements, accomplishments and next-steps of the 60 graduating seniors with a resounding send-off. Upwards of two dozen civic groups, organizations and individuals together presented more than $300,000 in scholarships and financial awards to the graduates, the majority of whom will pursue higher-education at an in-state college, university or technical school. And, as class salutatorian Kate Fenley points out, it’s the spirit of a tight-knit, supportive community that the graduates will carry out into the larger world, and, regardless of where each may end up--big town or small--that will be the foundation and promise that will “benefit us in our lives.” The graduation season continues in Friday Harbor Saturday, June 14, with commenceSee MAGIC, Page 4

Bigger. Faster. Built to endure. And with a lot more firepower-as in a pump that can shoot out 1,500 gallons of water per-minute, three times the amount that’s now available to fight a fire at the water’s edge. The San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department took possession of its new public safety boat, “Sentinel,” Monday morning at the Port of Friday Harbor. Funded by a $600,000-plus federal grant and built by Burlington-based Munson Boats, the Sentinel and its arrival in Friday Harbor signals an end to a two-year bureaucratic odyssey for the Sheriff ’s Department and the beginning of a new era of public safety out on the water. “I am elated to see this come to fruition,” Sheriff Rob Nou said. The sheriff ’s department will maintain and operate the Sentinel National Monument Est. 2 013 in partnership with the San Juan Island fire department and Shaw Island fire department. Previously, officials of the fire districts on Lopez and Orcas islands, and San Juan Emergency Medical Services, opted out of joining what initially had been conceived as a maintenance and operation agreement between all the county’s public safety agencies. Nou earlier estimated that maintenance of the county fleet will be about $100,000 per year although some of that cost will be allocated to the San Juan Island and Shaw Island fire departments and to operations grants from a number of agencies, including the Washington Department

of Licensing, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Department of Homeland Security. In addition to greater waterpump capacity, the Sentinel is equipped with twin Volvo diesel engines, is 38-by-12 feet in size, has a 7-foot wide “bow ramp” and can reach 40 mph at top speed, Nou said. San Juan Island Fire Department Chief Steve Marler anticipates that it will take 3-4 months of training before department firefighters are ready to use the Sentinel in responding to a fire. The Sentinel is expected to replace San Juan Island Fire Department’s fireboat Confidence, however, and the Sheriff ’s departSee DUTY, Page 4

y the end of this week, Washington will learn how often tank cars of oil siphoned from North Dakota’s Bakken Shale are getting shipped by rail through Snohomish County and the rest of the state. An emergency order from the U.S. Transportation Department requires railroads to tell the state how many trains carrying this highly flammable varietal of black gold are expected to travel through Washington each week, and on which routes. Railroads are not required to reveal exactly what days and times the trains are coming or how much crude oil is getting transported. Community leaders, emergency responders and some politicians say that’s the information they really need to be prepared for a derailment, spill or other type of accident. They’re aware of oil train derailments in Virginia in April, in Alabama in November; and in Quebec last July, where 47 people died. They know the chances of an accident are increasing as rail shipments of all types of crude oil multiply in Washington. The state Department of Ecology estimates it went from zero barrels in 2011 to nearly 17 million barrels — roughly 714 million gallons — in 2013. But rather than criticize the order as inadequate, these leaders cite the federal action as a step forward. “We’re all kind of worried about (Bakken crude) because it is much more flammable than regular

crude oil. We have been asking for more information,” said Brad Reading, assistant chief of Snohomish County Fire District 1 and chairman of the countywide Special Operations Policy Board which handles planning for hazardous materials incidents. “This is certainly a step forward.” Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring said he understood the federal change “wasn’t overwhelming” in its scope when it was announced in early May The rules, which kick in June 6 and apply to all 50 states, cover only shipments of at least 1 million gallons of Bakken crude. That sounds like a lot, except when you consider that one tank car holds about 30,000 gallons of crude oil, and oil trains commonly have 100 or more cars hitched together. Railroads must give the State Emergency Response Commission an estimate of how many trains will run through each county each week. The commission will notify the counties. After railroads provide the information next week, they won’t need to contact the state again unless the number of trains carrying Bakken oil increases or decreases by 25 percent or more. Refiners and railroads aren’t enamored with the notification directive. They worry it could increase the risk of sabotage and encourage daring activists to try to block trains through protests. They’d prefer not to see the information publicized. State emergency management officials plan to post it online but on Tuesday were checking to find out if they are barred from doing so.

And the federal rules don’t deal with the safety of the rail cars in which the Bakken is shipped. That’s a separate conversation going on in Washington, D.C. where the Obama Administration and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are likely to impose tougher standards for rail car construction. Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, chairman of the Senate Energy, Environment & Telecommunications committee, said the new notification rule is “a piece of the puzzle” but tank car safety is critically important and needs addressing sooner than later. He’s planning to hold a public hearing on oil trains June 17 in Spokane. “State lawmakers must continue to pressure the federal government to take stronger action,” he said when the order came out May 7. “It is what communities throughout Washington deserve and what we didn’t get from our federal leaders today.” Editor’s note: Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com.

Crisis in housing across the water Orcas Island’s latest dilemma, rentals proving harder to find, costlier too By Cali Bagby

Sounder reporter

Randy Davis and his family are on the verge of homelessness. Their circumstances are a matter of supply and demand, rather than a lack of financial resources. Davis said he could easily pay up to $2,000 per month on rent, but there is nothing available in that price range. “It takes a toll on the family,” he said. “They are not happy to not have a place – not knowing what is going to happen next is stressful.” Davis is married and has two kids with another child due in June. The family is currently staying in a home on the rental market. Once it’s sold they will have to look elsewhere. Since moving back to the islands in 2010 after a four-year break, the Davis family has moved five times. When Davis applied for affordable housing several years ago he says that he was turned down because he made too much money. He owns a rental home in Eastern Washington, where he lived several years ago, but because of owning that place he can’t get a second loan for an island home. Yet, even with a loan there may not be anything for him to purchase in his price range. According to Davis, most of the homes he has looked at are “fixer uppers.” He describes himself as not being able to swing a hammer – he works on cars, which is why he is the co-owner of a local mechanic shop. Davis is one of six islanders who wrote to the Sounder concerning the shortage of housing on the island. Problems included the lack of affordable housing and failure to get a loan. Several islanders said they will be forced to move offisland this summer because they have nowhere to live. And these folks are not alone. In 2006, 21,962 persons were tallied by the Washington State Point-inTime Count as homeless in Washington state. By 2009 the number had jumped to 22,827. Then in 2011 numbers went down again to 20,346 . Last year’s tally listed 20,336 persons. In San Juan County, 32 people were listed as home-

less by the count in 2012, which is a decrease from 42 people in 2011. But last year’s numbers were a large increase from the 11 listed in 2007 and the mere nine listed in 2008. The number of people temporarily living in San Juan County with family or friends was 27 in 2012 and 68 in 2011 compared to 62 in 2006. Erin O’Dell, of Orcas Family Connections, said these statistics aren’t ideal because it’s hard to keep track of people without housing in the islands, so the statistics often vary based on the number of people who actually respond to the survey. What she does know is that the lack of housing is the number one problem that Orcas Family Connections cannot fix, other than to say, “I’m sorry.” Lack of housing trumps islanders’ needs of medical insurance, ferry tickets, food, energy assistance and mental health. There are programs to assist people in need of medical help, food, travel and even mental health, but when it comes to affordable housing there are plenty of wounds and few bandages.

OPAL’s Lavender Hollow, above, is one of the island’s largest affordable housing units with 22 spaces.

O’Dell estimates there is an average of 15 families a month in need of a place to live. She said there is a program that can give eligible families a boost of $500 for housing, but that rarely solves the problem. “It can help augment or help a household avoid falling into a hole they can’t get out of,” said O’Dell. “But if you are already falling way behind, it is just a band-aid.” There are a few other housing assistance programs that attempt to tackle the housing deficit. Recently, O’Dell worked on a county-wide program providing seven residents a year’s worth of rent or funds for rent. Three people on Orcas qualified but could not find a home to rent. One applicant had four kids, which created a problem. To qualify for assistance she

The county Public Works Department also operates a 35-foot aluminum landing-craft workboat and two 20-foot workboats.

According to Lisa Byers, director of OPAL, which creates affordable housing on Orcas Island, there has been an increase in housing needs since the spring. “There has been a sense of urgency expressing heightened levels of emotions,” she said. Part of this surge, she said, is due to the sale of the six units at Wildwood apartments to Rosario Resort. According to Christoper Peacock, Rosario’s general manager, the apartments were purchased to provide housing for year-round employees that were in need of housing. Due to Rosario’s

increase in business – including the operation of 105 guest rooms – their housing needs also expanded. They will continue to house seasonal workers in the Rosario area. “We are trying to take care of our employees while also trying to absorb the impact on the community,” said Peacock. According to the Wildwoods owner Phil Miller, all of the tenants were offered jobs at Rosario to stay in the units. No one accepted the offer. In addition, Rosario offered $250 to each tenant to help with moving expenses. Dawn Atkinson has lived on the island for 11 years and she said the housing shortage is the worst she has ever seen.

Atkinson works at Orcas Village Store in the customer service department and her spouse is a carpenter. Until the Atkinsons find a permanent solution they plan on moving into a travel trailer on a friend’s property. The Atkinsons want to live on the island – they have grandchildren living on Orcas – but if they can’t find a home by the end of the summer Dawn said they might have to look at moving off-island. “It’s frustrating and not just for us,” she added. “There are four families and some have small children who have to find a new home.” Unfortunately, there may not be an easy solution.

is to find housing, it’s a challenge to provide rentals as well as ownership for islanders. “We are not always able to meet the needs,” said Byers. OPAL has looked at ways to build more units like Lavender Hollow, but funding and feasibility have been problematic. “We have really struggled to play a role in finding places for people,” said Byers. “As it tightens in this rental market, we don’t have a good answer.” Davis is able to sum up his experience in one anecdote. When a real estate broker showed up at his shop, Davis asked him if he knew of any rentals. According to Davis, the broker replied, “Good luck, it’s a big problem on the island.” Then he asked Davis to put a spare tire on his car. “That makes me feel like crap,” said Davis. “You want me to be here to work on your car, but there is nowhere for people like me to live. It’s very frustrating.”

Upgrade earns Labs $46K utility rebate A recent upgrade in lighting efficiency at Friday Harbor Laboratories appears to be worth the investment. On the heels of the upgrade, completed in late March, Orcas Power and Light Cooperative presented the Labs with a $46,230 rebate check for reducing its electrical demand. The retrofit included upgrading to high-performance linear bulbs and ballasts, and replacing incandescent lighting with LEDs, resulting in an estimated energy savings of 101,333 kilowatt hours a year. The Labs also installed solar panels on a laboratory building close to the water, visual from Friday Harbor. The 3-kilowatt system is interconnected to OPALCO’s electric grid and will offset energy costs for an estimated annual savings of 3,011 kWh kilowatt hours. OPALCO’s rebate program is funded by Bonneville Power Administration to help incentivize energy efficiency upgrades in San Juan County. OPALCO has issued a total of $268,478 in rebate checks to members with a collective estimated annual kWh savings of 940,826, from early October, 2013 and May 31, 2014.

OPINION Letters to the Editor

Shift a loss, not a boon for farmers

So far most of the articles about the proposed change to the Farm and Agricultural Conservation Land program have dwelt on the shift of the tax burden to the rest of the taxpayers. This addresses the other side of the issue. The parcels that have transferred into the program were farms that were previously classified as Open Space Farm. They were receiving about a 85 percent reduction in their taxes. The most they can receive under the Farm and Agricultural Conservation Land program is 35 percent. This is a 50 percent increase in taxes and hardly a shift of the tax burden to others. Other taxpayers should

welcome the reclassification as it increases revenue and reduces the potential for conversion of farm lands to other uses inconsistent with our rural nature. The change from 10 years to 20 years is actually a plus for the rest of the taxpayers. At the end of the ten years, the property must be returned to farming or grant a conservation easement. Either of these choices would result in a reduction of tax revenue to the County. The articles also imply that there will be many seeking to reduce their taxes by applying for this program. This program is not open to just anyone. RCW 84.34 says that the land must have been previously in Open Space – Farm or must be traditional farmland that has a high potential for returning to commercial agriculture.

Who’s runs the show at OPALCO?

According to the OPALCO board members at the May 28, 2014 meeting they held on Shaw Island, they are uncertain who was responsible for authorizing the letters from lawyers threatening Bob Jarman and John Bogert not to talk. The letters didn’t specify what it was they weren’t to talk about. The board members suggested it might have been their lawyers who decided to write those letters but the board members weren’t certain. These are people who are in positions of considerable responsibility for the efficient functioning of our electrical supply and its future. If they didn’t know their lawyers were threatening people to silence them, that is a considerable dereliction of duty. If they did know and are denying it the implications

of that speak loudly about their fitness for their positions. In either case, it is dangerous to rest easy with them in office. GABRIEL JACOBS Shaw Island

Your fire district, property taxes, fire insurance, and you By Chief Steve Marler, San Juan Island Fire & Rescue Special to the Journal

S

an Juan Island Fire & Rescue. (San Juan County Fire Protection District No. 3) was created by the voters in 1958, and serves San Juan, Brown and Pearl islands. While the Town of Friday Harbor is not within the fire district boundaries, we provide fire protection for the town through a mutually beneficial contract and provides wildland fire suppression on non-ferry served islands via contract with the state Department of Natural Resources. Most revenue comes from property taxes. State law limits a fire district to a maximum tax-rate of $1 for each $1,000 of property value. Your district commissioners have always worked hard to limit expenses and keep the tax rate as low as practical. As a result, property owners pay approximately 58 cents per $1,000 of property value. This year, some major changes are taking place, and you need to know why they’re happening and to be assured

your taxes will not be going up because of them. The real goal is to reduce the insurance premiums that you pay. San Juan Island Fire and Rescue maintains seven fire stations. Six are on San Juan Island, and one is on Brown Island. An obvious question is: “Why do we need so many fire stations for such a Contributed photo / Ken Clark small area?” Steve Marler The answer is: the insurance industry. The Washington Survey and Ratings Bureau is funded by the insurance industry and regulated by the state insurance commissioner. They assess the risk an insurance company assumes by issuing a fire insurance policy in any given community. To accomplish that

task, they have a “grading scale” that rates a community’s fire protection capabilities. One of the criteria is that every insured property must be within five miles of a fire station. Right now, our main fire engines are 28 years old. They’re well maintained and still operate as if they were nearly new. But there’s a problem. When the Ratings Bureau grades a local fire department, they assign penalty points to fire engines that are more than 10 years old, regardless of their condition. As more penalty points are assessed, a community's insurance premiums go up. Our solution? Your district commissioners authorized an early pay-off of outstanding bond debts, saving taxpayers about $250,000 per year. Since interest rates are very low right now, the Fire Commissioners chose to finance the purchase of new fire engines. Soon, six identical new fire engines will be delivered to San Juan Island.

H

ow in the world do you explain why you live on an island accessed only by sea or air? At a recent luncheon, an island newcomer said she moved here from a place where people didn’t help each other out. When she “got off the boat” for her new job here, people practically ran her over with offers to help. She was blown away. People who live here care. They care about community. And that’s how I start to explain to people why I live in this remote place. It’s all about caring. It’s easy to care for folks who articulate their needs. But what about those who can’t walk? Can’t talk? Have no energy to ask for help? Who wants to stay on the island although they cannot care for themselves? On this island, volunteers step up to meet those needs. Hospice of San Juan is one of those organizations that exist solely to help people in a time of truly great need. Hospice volunteers bake cookies, run errands, lend medical equipment, offer grief support, give family members a break, or just sit and be present. I know that doesn't sound very glamorous, but even less glamorous are those who give non-designated money so that hospice volunteers can do their work: United Way, an agency that receives money from members of this caring community, grants money to organizations desperately in need of funds for basic operational expenses. I recently attended a national meeting of geriatricians. One of the sessions I attended focused on solving organizational problems. I talked about fundraising for an allvolunteer hospice that provides free services in an isolated community. Most hospices receive payment from Medicare, which requires a volunteer component. San Juan County has

a unique situation in which Medicare-type hospice services are delivered by an agency located on the mainland, which, realistically, cannot fulfill its volunteer services requirement. Therefore, Hospice of San Juan voluntarily helps the mainland hospice so that people who choose to remain in the middle of the Journal file photo Salish Sea at the end of their Mariluz Villa life actually receive the full spectrum of needed services, all without getting a cut of the mainland hospice’s budget. So, my challenging organizational problem was how to fund our hospice. I completely stumped the “panel of experts” as well as audience. What they didn’t know is that United Way gives money without strings attached to help with operation expenses of our organization: money that can be used to pay our telephone hotline bill, for the storage unit that houses the medical equipment we lend out for free, for buying more equipment that is needed by frail people living on the island. United Way is one of very few agencies willing to give money to organizations like Hospice of San Juan to support every day expenses rather than funding specific programs—programs that cannot take place if their operational expenses are not paid. I wish there were a way to magically create resources that Hospice needs to care for people. United Way makes wishes come true. That is why I live on an island accessed only by sea or air. When you get off the boat, United Way cares, volunteers care, every part of this community cares, no strings attached. Welcome to the island. — Editor’s note: Mariluz Villa, president of Hospice of San Juan board of directors, is board certified in internal and geriatric medicine, as well as in hospice and palliative care, and offers medical services on a voluntary basis where needed.

Rainy Days: From Sprinkles to Storms By Ed Hale, SJC Public Works Special to the Journal

T

he previous articles in our stormwater series have discussed concerns with muddy pastures, flooding on your property, and on-site septic systems, and provided information about technical and financial assistance that is available to county residents. This week, in our last article in the series, we will discuss San Juan County’s stormwater monitoring program. Stormwater Monitoring: The Facts Stormwater monitoring has become a common practice across the nation, as scientists have identified contaminated stormwater as one of the largest contributors of pollutants to freshwater and marine ecosystems. When clean stormwater flows through contaminated areas, it picks up pollutants and then carries them into nearby bodies of water. In 2011, San Juan County received funding from the Washington state departments of Health and Ecology to develop a pilot stormwater monitoring program to identify any potential areas of concern. Water resources in San Juan County are precious, and monitoring our

Monitoring will help us identify stormwater problem areas stormwater is one way we can help identify potential water quality concerns. It is far easier to prevent water pollution than to restore healthy water once it is contaminated. Over the past two years, San Juan County Public Works, in coordination with Washington State University (WSU) Extension and the San Juan Islands Conservation District, has conducted stormwater monitoring at 18 sites located in five priority watersheds. Following rain storms, a team of trained WSU Extension stormwater monitors take samples from creeks and waterways that drain into marine waters on San Juan, Lopez, and Orcas islands. Five watersheds were selected for sampling based on degrees of development and known pollutant sources. These watersheds are East Sound, Westcott/Garrison Bay, False Bay, Fisherman’s Bay, and Mud Bay. Samples are collected and shipped to a laboratory in Burlington for analysis,

following sampling protocols developed by Stillwater Sciences, a water quality consulting firm selected by San Juan County. The lab provides us with the raw data which is then analyzed. Analysis for Year 1 is complete and provides an initial characterization of stormwater quality in the San Juans, as compared to national databases and monitoring in Puget Sound: n Water quality appears to be generally good for water temperature, pH, and turbidity. n Several common stormwater components, including most metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and pesticides were either not present or found at relatively low levels See RAINY DAYS, Page 8

And You: Continued from page 7 house an engine that is designed to meet our community's unique needs. And, it will require no new taxes or fees from you. Another change is a joint project with the sheriff. We operate a small fireboat. It can pump 500 gallons of salt water per minute, and is designed to help out when a boat is on fire, or to supply water to firefighters battling a fire near the waterfront. Fireboat Confidence is a capable little boat. But, it has limited capabilities and no covered area to help keep firefighters. Last year, with the assistance of the Department of Emergency Management and Congressman Rick Larsen, a federal grant was awarded to build a new public safety boat. "Sentinel" will be delivered to the county within the next week. Sentinel has a 1,500-gallon-per-minute fire pump, triple our current capability. It will be a partnership between the Sheriff, Fire District 3, and Shaw Island (Fire District No. 5). Once the Sentinel is in service, we will sell the existing fire boat, reducing the number of taxpayer-funded boats while improving capabilities and firefighter safety. The insurance industry gives credits for fire boats so shore-side properties should benefit from this increased capability. Plus, in a major crisis, this boat will be able to supply water that can be transported anywhere on land, if need be.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Contributed photo / SJ Fire & Rescue

A crew of firefighters monitor the intensity of a blaze while working to bring a wildland fire under control.

Putting new fire engines and a new fire boat into service is only one part of the plan to satisfy the insurance industry and lower insurance premiums. The second one is more difficult to solve: We need more firefighters. The reason we can operate at a tax rate that is roughly half of most fire agencies is our “paid-on-call” firefighters; our “volunteers”. Every time you see a fire engine drive by, know that all but three of our firefighting staff are volunteers. They get a small hourly sum for their service but give up time away from work and family to protect all of us. The problem is that we need more people to fill those fire boots. The insurance industry counts how many volunteer firefighters live within five miles of any fire station. If they don’t see enough, they don’t consider that fire station when measuring how far away a property is from the closest station. Right now, there's a critical shortage of volunteers living near the fire stations at Roche Harbor, Cape San Juan and Sunset Point. But we could use more firefighters near every fire station. Please consider joining our team. You have to be at least 18 years old. There's no maximum age, just a requirement to want to serve your community. Our firefighters receive nationally accredited training, annual medical exams, state-of-the-art protective gear, paid training and response hours, and the satisfaction of knowing that as most people are running away from a crisis, they run toward it and work to save lives and property.

n Nutrients were found at low to moderate levels compared to Puget Sound data. n Fecal coliform bacteria are generally elevated in samples from Mud Bay, Fisherman Bay and East Sound in comparison to samples from the other watersheds. It takes time to build a database that provides reliable information, but the analysis of the first year data is encouraging, as stormwater quality in the San Juans is better than most of the people managing the project expected. Based on the results of Year 1, we have developed several adaptive management recommendations for future years of the San Juan County pilot stormwa-

ter monitoring program to improve our understanding of the data. These changes include increased dry weather monitoring, source tracking for bacteria, and reduced sampling for surfactants and pesticides. Analysis of the data collected from the second year of the project is expected to be complete in July of 2014.

Rockets red glare? Tradition in peril A fitting end to any Independence Day celebration is to kick back and watch a colorful barrage of fireworks light up the night sky. And, Friday Harbor is no exception. Or, is it? The future of Friday Harbor’s annual 4th of July fireworks display is in jeopardy for lack of financial support, according to the San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce, the event’s primary sponsor. Each year the Chamber is responsible for raising the $15,000-plus needed to fund the fireworks show and is seeking community support to help pay the bill. If your family or business enjoys the fireworks display, the chamber would welcome a contribution. Donate at Vic’s Drive In, or at any local business that’s a chamber member. Donations can also be made via credit card, contact the chamber at 378-5240, or stop by the Spring Street chamber office; access the chamber PayPal account at, chamber@ sanjuanisland.org, and its P.O.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’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 cord by visualizing 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. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
