Appeals fail at high court

Groups gear up to count homeless

State Supreme Court rejects appeals in three local cases Journal staff report

The Washington state Supreme Court issued decisions on three San Juan County cases Dec. 11. Two cases involved land-use appeals by Deer Harbor resident Michael Durland. The third case involved a 10-year-old rape case that received a fresh look due to changes in the rules regarding “open courts.” Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord said that “in all three cases, the position on the law taken by the prosecutor’s office was upheld.” The two cases filed by Durland involved a challenge to a building permit on property adjacent to his property. Durland filed the first case directly in Skagit County without appealing to the county’s hearing examiner. The trial court ruled that without a ruling from the hearing examiner there was no final decision to be appealed and the court had no authority to hear the case. The Washington court of appeals in Seattle upheld that decision and Durland then appealed to the Washington Supreme Court, in Olympia. The Supreme Court upheld decisions of the lower courts and awarded attorney fees to Durland’s neighbor. Durland simultaneously See COURT, Page 4

The newborn orca calf, J-50, swims alongside its presumed mother, J-16. The whale was spotted for the first time by researchers on Dec. 30, and appeared to be healthy. When sighted the calf was energetic & between 4-10 days old.

Mystery blankets newborn Odd behavior by calf causes uncertainty over its parentage By Emily Greenberg Journal reporter

The newborn calf in J-pod is a welcomed addition to the population in peril, but only time will tell who its mother is. The Center for Whale Research confirmed seeing and photographing 42-year-old J-16 with, presumably, her newborn baby, off the south shores of North Pender Island in Canadian waters Dec. 30. The baby, known as J-50, is the second calf to be born in 2014, after a two-year lull of no births among the Southern Resident killer whales. The calf appeared to be healthy and energetic, swimming alongside its presumed mother. However, researchers immediately recognized some peculiarity surrounding its birth. J-16 was not expected to be carrying a calf due

to her advanced age and no other female has given birth at over 42 years of age in the four decades of demographic field studies of the Southern Resident orcas. Researchers speculated that J-16’s daughter, J-36, could be the mother. At age 16, J-36 is in her prime for breeding. At the time the newborn was first sighted swimming alongside J-16, J-36 appeared to be missing. Ken Balcomb, founder of the Center for Whale Research, feared the worst. “Thank goodness she was alive,” he said. “The issue of who is the mother of J-50 may be settled the next time we encounter these whales. Or, it may take some time.” The birth of J-50 comes at the end of a rocky year for the Southern residents. The population, which was declared endangered in 2005, suffered four deaths in 2014. The birth of J-50 brings it back up to 78, a 30-year low nonetheless. Oddities surrounding the birth of J-50 appeared See NEWBORN, Page 4

Whiteley lectures: mysteries of NW marine world explored What happens at the mouth of a river when decades of built up sediment is unleashed by the demolition of a dam? Are the species of coral that grow in chilly waters of the Salish Sea imperiled by ocean acidification? Does underwater wreckage make for good habit for marine life in the San Juans? Find out the answers to these questions and more by attending the 2015 series of Arthur Whiteley Lectures. Sponsored by the San Juan Nature Institute and hosted by U of W Friday Harbor Laboratories, the series is named in honor of former University of Washington biology professor Arthur Whiteley, who, along with wife Helen Riaboff, helped lay the foundation of what would evolve into a world-renown marine research center along the north shore of the Friday Harbor waterfront. Whiteley passed away in April 2013, at the age of 96. First up in the 2015 Whiteley Lecture series is Dr. Jacques White, executive director of Long Live the Kings, a Seattlebased non-profit whose mission is to help restore wild salmon and steelhead to the waters of the Pacific Northwest. White will probe the reasons behind the die-off of juve-

nile salmon and steelhead in the shared inland marine waters of U.S. and Canada in a presentation of Long Live the Kings "The Salish Sea Marine Survival Project," Jan. 15, beginning at 7 p.m. at the U of W Labs' Commons. On Jan. 29, veteran diver and underwater photographer Dr. Derek Smith will talk about his European adventures and offer hints of his work in the San Juans in a presentation

A year ago, 65 individuals were identified as homeless in San Juan County, 44 of whom were living out of doors, in vehicles, or in abandoned buildings. The remaining 21 people were staying in temporary, unstable living arrangements,

often with friends or family.

State representative and energy technology expert Jeff Morris was reelected as chairman of the House Technology & Economic Development Committee in early December. Morris is a leading national voice in development of new energy technology and policy. In addition to his work in the state legislature, Morris was recently appointed an advisor to the U.S. Department of Energy, where he advises the department on translating research and development into realworld energy policies.

entitled "Shipwrecks: artificial habitats for marine communities." While much of his research surrounds exploration of ancient shipwrecks in the Mediterranean, Smith is conducting similar research in the San Juans. University of Washington associate professor Andrea Ogston steps into the lecture series spotlight Feb. 12 to talk about dam removal and sediments in "Update on the Elwha Project." Ogston and her students have studied and documented the movement of sediments and its effect on nearshore of the Elwha River following the landmark demolition of its two dams. On Feb. 26, a presentation by U of W associate professor Alex Gagnon will zero in on cold-water corals and challenges that face these "ecosystems" from the effects of ocean acidification. Gagnon, who will make The Labs home base for much of his new research project on Puget Sound Corals, will share his experience in exploring for deep-sea coral using manned and unmanned submarines as part of the presentation.

“This is a critical time for the development and implementation of new energy policies and technology,” said Morris, D-40th District. “Technology is finally coming to Jeff Morris our electric grid and changing the nature of a business that has been the same for more than a hundred years.”

Morris also serves as a co-chair for the National Conference of State Legislatures’ Task Force on Energy Supply. Along with a robust energy agenda, Morris plans to introduce a bill that would limit corporations’ access to a consumer’s biometric data as well as reintroduce his drone privacy bill, which was passed by an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote in the House but never received a vote in the Senate (HB 2178).

Travel-tested Breakers rally for win over FH 8K miles from home, touring ‘Aussie’ team claims win No. 6 By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

The girls from “Down Under” like to get out and run. But Coach Glenn Wiensbruh opted for a more measured pace in the early going against Friday Harbor, fearing that his Mornington Breakers might have too little left in the tank after playing five games in six days and contending all the while with the rigors of travel, as well as a steady diet of competition, more than 8,000 miles from home. Talk about a road trip. Still, putting the breaks on the Breakers appeared—for a time—to be a bust. After five consecutive victories over Seattlearea teams, including Rainer Beach and Juanita, the “select” squad of 16 and 17-year-olds from the seaside village 35 miles southeast of Melbourne managed only two points in the opening period and went into the locker room trailing the Wolverines by double digits, 16-6, at the half. Fatigue from both the gauntlet of games and the travel had started to take a toll, Tiah Irons acknowledged. “I definitely felt it for the first time tonight,” said Irons, who tallied a team-high 10 points for the Breakers in the Jan. 3 international contest in Turnbull Gym. Drawn from four different schools in the Mornington area, nine players made the journey from the Melbourne suburb to the U.S., accompanied by parents and several chaperones, of course. Through walk-a-thons, trivia nights, book sales, “sausage sizzles” and various fundraisers, they amassed $35,000 over the better part of 14 months to finance the trip. For most, it would be a first-ever visit to America. The itinerary boasted nine basketball games in two weeks time in Seattle and the surrounding area, followed by one week in Los Angeles where, as described by Lisa Jordan,

mother of the Breakers’ Kiana Jordan, the players would be able to “let their hair down a bit.” Although the change in time zones and the weather (it’s summertime in Australia), as well as the intensity of U.S. competition, chipped away at his players’ stamina, Wiensbruh also tipped his hat to the Wolverines for giving the Breakers all they could handle. “They’re the best team we’ve played so far on our tour,” he said. On the heels of a rousing halftime speech, Wiensbruh eased up on the reins and the Breakers found their form in the second half. “We got a massive motivational speech at halftime,” Irons said. “In the second half we got back to playing our game and started running.” The Breakers, cashing in on turnovers and breakaway lay-ins, outscored the Wolverines 15-10 in the third period, narrowing the deficit to five. Friday Harbor’s Madie Kincaid scored eight of a team-high 14 points in the third. Lili Wood contributed 11 points to the team total and Journal photo / Scott Rasmussen Allie Galt had six.

Great question! Rents are actually escalating in the county and with interest rates remaining favorable, the advantages of homeownership are increasingly compelling. An assessment of monthly mortgage costs and rents for similar housing shows that ownership delivers savings on top of building equity (not to mention the interest deductions available). For example, a San Juan Island home priced at $300,000; a buyer who can make a 20% down payment with 4.375% interest will spend $1,198 monthly on the mortgage. Renting a similar house is estimated to cost $1,350 monthly (almost $1,800 per year more before any potential tax savings). It’s not just a local story either. Nationally, ownership is cheaper than renting and owners possess nearly 30 times the net worth of renters, according to the New York Times.

supreme court; neighbors were awarded attorney fees in this case, too. Deputy prosecutor Amy Vira and a special deputy prosecutor, Mark Johnsen of Seattle, represented San Juan County in these two cases. In the third case, the supreme court denied a request to reverse the conviction of Roland Speight, convicted in 2004 for a rape that occurred on Orcas Island. Speight asked that his conviction be reversed for violation of the “open courts” laws. In that case, during the jury selection phase of the trial, jurors completed a questionnaire in which they indicated whether they preferred to be questioned privately rather than in open court on sensitive topics such as prior experience with sexual assault. Ultimately, a few prospective jurors were questioned privately with the defendant and his lawyer present. The supreme court ruled that Speight was required to show that he was prejudiced by the questioning of jurors in private. Because he was present during the questioning, assisted in the defense and as a result learned helpful information about the prospective jurors, Speight was unable to show prejudice.

Ferry Home Companion

Finding puppy love at Christmas Young at heart and much, much better than last year’s lump of coal

O

n Christmas day we went out to the family morning gift exchange. We were a bit surprised by the number of friends. After an elegant brunch they headed to the stockings and packages to be presented to the family from grandchildren to grandparents. Leader Jane announced that the number one gift was for Helen and myself. “Half the town knows about this...and here she is. A cockapoodle for Howard and Helen. We remembered how shook up they were when we lost Spring last year, who spent almost half her time staying with them when we were away.” We were overjoyed. It has taken us a week to name this bundle of loving warmth: Sandy. It matches her color and the colors of our rooms, and the only Sandy person we know is the boundlessly energetic partner of Ron Bates. You probably are wondering what in the world would a 93-year-old “newsy” cares about a puppy. Here’s the “what.” When I was a few years old and we had moved to Omaha from Pottawattamie county in Iowa following a flood, we finally got a decent apartment. My mother got me a puppy. She also refurnished the rooms and had a great furry white rug. Within a week, the rug was ruined. The dog’s name was changed to “Spot.” It disappeared. My mother asked my brother to not tell that they took him back to the pound. Shortly after, I was walking along the sidewalk carrying a big branch and a white Spitz grabbed my

leg and pulled me across the yard. My brother killed it with a brick and it turned out to have rabies. I lucked out but feared dogs for years. Ten year later I was on a newspaper route in the hills of Omaha where a great dane used to bark from a big hill on the road. I’d race like mad after tossing the Omaha World Herald on the porch. The Howard would bark from the locked porch. Schonberger dog One time it got loose and leaped on Columnist me as I sped away downhill and I was knocked out amid my bag full of Sunday papers. I woke up and the dog was licking my face. That did it, and I’ve had dogs ever since until recently. The whole family pitched in and went down to Oregon to get this wonderful gift. I swear, we’re reading all of the literature Steve Maas, master dog trainer, is bringing to us to make Sandy’s master and mistress live up to her vibrant, loving little body. Here’s hoping your holiday were as joyous as ours… ruff, ruff. —Go with the F.L.O.W. Ferry (and furry) Lovers Of Washington

OPINION Letters to the Editor

Glad that Journal isn’t at the helm

Time will tell whether the San Juan Ferry reservation system deserves a No. 1 spot as the big news for 2014, but thankfully you are not the ones navigating the ferries (“Top 10 stories of 2014,” Dec. 31, pg. 1). Eastbound ferries from Anacortes will end up on the rocks and westbound ferries from Friday Harbor and Orcas will end up in Canada. [“Reservations are available for eastbound sailings to all four ferry-served islands and on westbound sailings from San Juan and Orcas”] DAN ZAEHRING San Juan Island — Editor’s note: Our compass clearly got turned around, as Mr. Zaehring cleverly notes in the story referenced.

Double standard for similar crops?

Since the discussion regarding growing marijuana in San Juan County is complicated and multifaceted, I would like to start a conversation with one concern at this time. I would like to make a case for considering cannabis as an agricultural crop. Let’s compare apples to apple-cider, so to speak. Question: Can you think of a plant that is now legal to be grown, processed and sold in San Juan County in a form that can get you high, and is regulated by the Liquor Control Board? Apples, hops, grapes, ber-

ries, barley, potatoes, cherries, etc., are all well-established as agricultural crops. Along with cannabis, they are all processed to make recreationally intoxicating products for grown-ups. Our local distilleries and wineries are praised in the press. Marijuana has the same potential as an apple or a grape. While cannabis and alcohol both intoxicate, the LCB does not require the same level of security for distilleries or wineries as the newer cannabis operations. Perhaps the centuries have already shown that intoxicants are not going to destroy the moral fabric of our society. Perhaps we still need to learn that it is prohibition that leads to black markets and increased crime. These are my thoughts— offered to the community to start the conversation. Hopefully a countywide polite discussion will help set standards we can all live with. Farmers should be involved since regulations could affect growing practices of many other legal crops.

Dazzled by art at IMA; don’t miss it

The Islands Museum of Art on Spring Street is a significant new landmark in the cultural life of our islands thanks to the generosity of individuals and the hard work of many, many volunteers. The museum’s architecture is impressive and the interior has several galleries as well as workshop space. Its location just a short walk from the ferry makes it very accessible to residents from other islands. Over 600 people celebrated the opening in December of a juried show of 60 island artists of the IMA Artists Registry from Lopez, Orcas, San Juan and Waldron Islands. The talents of island artists are extraordinary as can be seen in the 100 pieces of their art on display, including paintings large and small in various mediums, sculpture in metal, ceramics, wood

Easy step to Island shuffle: plight of the renter Options dwindle as more rentals are get involved converted into vacation properties

W

hen the start of a new year rolls around, many of us wonder what we might be able to do that would help make a difference. For some, it’s difficult to know where to start. If that’s the case, the county has a near endless supply of opportunities to get involved. How? By becoming a member of a volunteer board or committees that together help create the tapestry that surround our public places and that help shape and protect our shared spaces. Here are just a few: The Fair has three openings, two “at large” and one for Shaw Island. The Human Services Advisory Board has five posts to fill; the Land Bank Commission has three. The Agricultural Resources Committee has four, the Board of Equalization has three; ditto for the Building Advisory Council. There are openings on the San Juan Island Library Board of Trustees, the Stormwater Citizens Advisory Committee, Veterans Advisory Board and the Planning Commission as well. There’s no shortage of places or spaces where to make a difference. Visit the county website, contact the council office by phone (378-2898) or by email, sueko@sanjuanco.com to get started.

ecuring affordable, clean, long-term housing on San Juan Island is a serious problem. Many decent and hard-working people are faced with it—people who are assets to this community and who want to stay here and build a life. I happen to be one of them. Most recently, the house I was renting sold, so now I’ve moved into a 25-foot travel trailer that generous friends offered to me. I’m on the waiting list for a Home Trust home, hoping that one will become available, or waiting for the next phase of construction to be completed. It’s my only option for fulfilling my dream of owning a home of my own. When I moved here 20 years ago, I assumed I would be able to buy my own little house. I built my own business and have work and clients that I love. When the recession hit, my dreams of owning a home faded away and I have been renting all these years. My professional life has always involved nurturing and helping people. At 23, I began a career in social services and for the last 22 years, I’ve practiced therapeutic massage. I’m a good tenant. I’ve always left my apartment, cottage, or home cleaner or prettier than I found it. My references glow. The first 10 years I lived here I was blessed with decent housing and kind people to rent from. But over the past 10 years, the rental housing situation has changed dramatically. During the recession, rents went up but wages did not. Since then I’ve had to move six times, for one reason or another. What I keep hearing is that it’s always been this way—a housing shortage because of finite space and the limited resources of an island. When the economy began to improve, more properties were turned into vacation rentals, which further exacerbated the problem. Local residents could rent only during the fall/winter off-season and were obliged to leave in the spring.

Continued from page 6 ballfields, but has donated funds “to cover the cost of a portion of the construction of a sidewalk,” a condition required by the town. In addition, as a longtime fan and supported of Island Rec, I was dismayed by the information (assuming it is correct), that when completed, IR and the school district will enter into a maintenance and operation agreement with costs being covered by a possible levy increase. Having been involved briefly with this project many years ago through the IR Trails Committee, my understanding then was that IR committed to building the playground, a considerable expense. I realize that IR and the school district have gotten more intwined these past years with school sports funding, so understand

their role has expanded. But I am now questioning and perhaps others are also, the need and expense of all these new fields with our school population shrinking, and playing fields already existing at the schools, and another levy request in our future. CINDA PIERCE Friday Harbor

Resolve to be a better neighbor in 2015; here’s how

A number of events occurring on our islands as I was reading “Six Degrees” by Mark Lynas has me thinking—how can we be a better community in this new year and beyond?

What happens to these people? I know some were forced to live in their cars.

Because we’ve so few options, and are sometimes given short notice to move, Contributed photo we have to take what we can On the move: Susan Feldmiller get. I’ve experienced water carries a box of personal possesrunning down crumbling sions to yet another new location inside walls, rodent infestation, places too dirty to live in, and a complete lack of respect for my privacy. Many of us who moved here for work, or who’ve built small businesses, or who have retired here, are suffering. It’s expensive, emotionally upsetting, and physically difficult to keep moving around. Does San Juan Island want a stable working class—a reliable group of people to serve in stores, restaurants, schools, small businesses, and private homes and who are invested in the community? Do we want to keep retirees who have knowledge and skills and a desire to help? Or is a transient group of residents who leave and take their dreams and skills with them good enough? A vibrant, diverse, multi-generational, multi-cultural population is of benefit to all of us. I’m grateful to the San Juan Community Home Trust, which recognizes the problem and is working to solve it. It is moving forward with plans to build another phase of homes and offers hope to me and others who are facing a real dilemma. Thanks to all those who are helping the Home Trust create more permanently affordable homes. — Editor’s note: for more information about local housing visit the Community Development & Planning Department homepage at the San Juan County website, www.co.san-juan.wa.us

small scenario of scarcity could expand. Learn to love greenhouses. Even unheated ones can grow crops year-round. Let’s be a resilient community. Know your neighbors. At your next association meeting or neighborhood get-together, consider inviting the Department of Emergency Management to give a presentation. They can help develop plans for assisting each other in case of disaster (the latest prediction for the 9.0 “Big One” is 40 percent by 2060). Know and follow the rules for building. Consider new ones very carefully; we live with the results. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” If you think the neighbor’s place is ugly, talk to them about mitigation measures and/or build or grow screening. Trying to pull political clout to stop legal actions is unfair and disrespectful. If you suspect illegal building activity, don’t just

call the planning department, talk with your neighbor; that can save aggravation and tax dollars. Don’t sue your neighbor for building legally; it shows spite and wastes money. If what they put on their land is that important, read the county permit applications. Better yet, come to know your neighbors. Share ideas, thoughts, hopes, plans. Let yourselves understand and respect each other. Share the road. County or private, respect the right of passage for living, farming, and business needs. Save complaints and lawsuits for unnecessarily disruptive activities. Don’t feel left out if you don’t own property here; tell us when we’re being silly. Neighborliness boils down to these three: Respect. Care. Communicate. Happy New Year, and may we all be good neighbors. ALISON LONGLEY Friday Harbor

Talk of the town; IMA marks milestone Newly opened art museum, galleries draw 1,000 visitors in first month on Spring St. Whenever Erin Braybook gets a chance to journey back to San Juan Island she makes plans to visit with an old friend or two. But never would she have expected to be the center of attention on any visit to Friday Harbor. Had she known what was in store, Braybook may have opted to wait it out awhile longer in the parking lot of the San Juan Island Museum of Art. “I’m a little overwhelmed by it all,” Braybook said after walking through the entrance of IMA shortly before noon on Jan. 2, unwittingly becoming the 1,000th visitor to cross the threshold of the newly constructed art museum and galleries at 540 Spring Street. She was greeted with the type of exuberant welcome and flourish of fanfare, and with assorted gifts and certificates, more commonly reserved for a visiting dignitary or head of state. “I came expecting to meet with my friend Charlie (Bodenstab, chairman of IMA board of directors). I defi-

nitely was not expecting all the attention, but anything for art, as they say,” Braybook said. IMA opened the doors to its new home Dec. 5 with the varied works of 58 local artists and yearly Artists’ Registry Show featured in the museum’s so-called “soft opening” and inaugural display of art. Designed by local architect Richard Hobbs and constructed around the frame and on the footprint of the former headquarters of San Juan EMS, the $3.25 million building features three galleries, a second-floor artists workshop, administrative space and a towering glass atrium at the forefront. The building is constructed at a fraction of the cost of those erected by similar “Downsound” non-profit organizations by capitalizing on its usable space and by avoiding non-functional frills and a tendency among art groups to encapsulate a sense of “grandeur,” according to Bodenstab. As visitor No. 1,000, Braybook received a complimentary $200 supporting membership, which includes reciprocal — Scott Rasmussen privileges at more the 600 museums.

t’s nine a.m. on a blustery winter morning and San Juan Island Fitness is buzzing with activity. The placid blue of the saltwater pool is rippled as swimmers cut through the liquid while doing laps. The weight training room is spotted with muscles, clad in sweaty spandex . Upstairs is a space for classes, where the aerobics goers patiently wait for a spin class to stop pedaling. When the aerobics class concludes, the yogis are next in line. “A good workout program is going to make the winter go by a lot faster,” said Paul Hopkins, owner of the fitness center. “Having physical goals makes this time of year a lot more palatable, and physical activity helps with self-esteem and confidence.” Hopkins said people are more likely to stick to a routine if they work out with a buddy or a class, as that creates a sense of reliability.

The winter blues

With the onset of winter comes shorter days and colder temperatures. Not only do relentless clouds hang above Friday Harbor this time of year, but that same gray matter, figuratively speaking, can seem to linger above your own atmosphere, precipitating the infamous “winter blues.” Seasonal affective disorder, or seasonal depression, is a real thing. King County reports that four to six people out of 100 experience the disorder prevalently, while 10 to 20 percent of people experience milder forms of the winter blues. Throw in the flu and cold season, and both mental and physical health can deteriorate this time of year.

important for mental health. It can help lift moods and dispel toxins from the body. “When toxins reach a certain level we become more depressed and susceptible to infection,” Corin said. If taken in plant form, the concentration of the nutrient is higher. Corin suggests the plant Camu Camu, a cherry-sized berry native to the Amazonian lowlands of South America. If you are going to take it in supplement form, he said it needs to be more than just ascorbic acid, must be buffered, and taken at the right time of the day. He recommends professional consultation to get the most out of your supplement regimen. However, no matter how healthy your diet is, it must be combined with movement in order to be effective. “If you move, even with an imperfect diet, the nutrients will go to the right spots,” Corin said. “It’s better than having a perfect diet and sitting in front of a computer.”

Cutting out processed foods and replacing them with healthier options is key, although it may take some getting used to. “Once a habit sets in it’s hard to break it. You need to exercise endurance,” he said. “You might not like the taste of flaxseed oil, but you can acquire a taste for it.” Having a healthy gut prevents both infection and depression, Corin said. He recommends probiotics, like those in organic plain yogurt and cottage cheese, and eating fermented foods like sauerkraut and kim chi. Balancing the cold outside by cultivating warmth inside is also important. Fresh ginger, garlic and cayenne pepper keep immune cells happy and warm. Corin recommends cooking with these ingredients and squeezing them into tea. As far as vitamin supplements go, it’s common knowledge that vitamin D is a good one to take during the darker months. However vitamin D cannot be properly absorbed or activated without sufficient magnesium levels. Corin suggests a topical application of magnesium, which is available in lotion form, to aid absorption.

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
