Court of Appeals of Washington April 22, 2002, No. 47645-9-I (Donald B. Murphy Contractors, Inc. v. King County)

Becker, C.J.

The terms of a contract between King County and a general contractor unambiguously reflect an intent to preclude all direct claims by subcontractors against the County. For that reason, Murphy, a subcontractor, does not have a direct claim against the county as a third-party beneficiary of the county’s promise to procure builder’s risk insurance.
