The State appeals an exceptional sentence, below the standard range, imposed on Terry Lee Allert for his conviction on two counts of first degree robbery. We affirm.

Mr. Allert, former police chief of Ritzville, Washington, robbed two grocery stores with a pellet gun on November 27, 1987. He pleaded guilty to two counts of first degree robbery in July 1988.
