Description
[66 Wash2d Page 351] This appeal, relating to attorney fees and costs in eminent domain proceedings comes here on an agreed statement of facts. Appellants owned real property abutting the existing county gravel pit in Snohomish County near Arlington. Snohomish County, hoping to enlarge the county's gravel pit, negotiated with appellants to purchase 10 acres of this tract. In January, 1962, one of the county commissioners, acting informally and prior to any official action, offered appellants $20,000 for the property, which offer the appellants accepted. The board of county commissioners, considering the offer in formal meeting, declined to renew the offer or confirm it; the board caused an appraisal to be made and authorized the prosecuting attorney to proceed to acquire the land by condemnation.
