Court of Appeals of Washington March 21, 2011, No. 63053-9-I (Gorman v. City of Woodinville)

*761¶1 The government is protected by statute against claims of adverse possession. The statute does not protect private landowners, even if they later sell to the government. Here, James Gorman claims he acquired ownership by adverse possession before the government purchased the land. If so, his claim is not barred.
