1Opinion of the CourtJohanson, J.
¶1 Lewis County (County) appeals the trial court’s order dismissing its declaratory judgment action without prejudice. The County argues that the trial court erred in dismissing its case because (1) it meets all four justiciable controversy elements under the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act (UDJA), chapter 7.24 RCW, and (2) in the alternative, it is a case of major public importance. We affirm because the trial court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the County’s case, which neither meets the justiciable controversy elements nor presents an issue of major public importance.
