1Opinion of the Court
KENNEDY, Circuit Judge:
Norco Construction, Inc. (Norco), a real estate developer, appeals from the grant of summary judgment to King County (the county). The district court found that the statute of limitations barred Norco’s federal claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, as well as pendent state causes of action for tort and inverse condemnation. Norco argues that it could not have brought suit before August 1982. We agree, and find the statute of limitations no bar to Norco’s claims. We further reject the county’s contention that the earlier state mandamus proceeding was res judicata to this action.
