Blue Sky Advocates v. State

Blue Sky Advocates (Blue Sky), a nonprofit corporation, characterizing this as an action against the Attorney General, claims that either a malpractice claim or the private attorney general doctrine entitles it to attorney fees and other expenses of its involvement in Energy Facility Site Evaluation Counsel (EFSEC) hearings. The trial court dismissed Blue Sky's action on summary judgment. We affirm the trial court and hold that RCW 80.50.080 does not contemplate malpractice suits against the Attorney General. We also reject the private attorney general doctrine.
