Bellevue Farm Owners Ass'n v. Shorelines Hearings Board
Court of Appeals of Washington
1Opinion of the CourtHunt, J.
— Bellevue Farm Owners Association appeals denial of a shoreline substantial development permit to *344build a 345-foot dock over partly public tidal mudflats on Westcott Bay, San Juan Island. We hold that the county’s threshold determination of nonsignificance (DNS) did not preclude the Shoreline Hearings Board’s (Board) independent review of the application. Finding the Board’s decision supported by the record and the law, we affirm its denial of the permit.
