[U] Friend and Friend Enterprises, Inc. v. Thurston County

The Estate of John Friend (Friend) appeals the superior courts affirmance of the hearing examiner finding his subdivision proposal incomplete for noncompliance with Thurston Countys Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) and other environmental regulations. Friend argues that (1) the County misinterpreted the CAO; (2) substantial evidence does not support the decision; (3) the decision is clearly erroneous; and (4) the CAO is unconstitutionally vague. Because Friend fails to show entitlement to relief under RCW 36.70C.130(1), we affirm.
