Washington Natural Gas Co. v. Tyee Construction Co.
Court of Appeals of Washington

1Opinion of the CourtSwanson, J.
—Plaintiff Washington Natural Gas Company (Gas Company) brought suit against Tyee Construction Company (Tyee) and Puget Sound Power and Light Company (Puget) to recover for damage to its underground gas lines 1 at 10 locations in a residential subdivision. The Gas Company's contention was that Tyee, a contractor employed by Puget to underground its power lines, had "barked" a protective covering off existing gas lines during the process of laying the power lines. The trial court, sitting without a jury, dismissed the complaint, and the Gas Company appeals. We find no error and affirm.
