Honorable Gary McLean
Hearing Examiner
Jefferson County, WA

Dear Hearing Examiner McLean:
Re: Order Confirming Prehearing Conference
Consolidated Hearing Process for Rock Island Shellfish Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit Application (SDP2024-00006) and Appeal of SEPA MDNS
issued for such application
I was not privy to conversations leading to the above-entitled Order and had no input into it.
Because sections of law and the analysis in the Order potentially overlap with issues raised in
Appellants’ SEPA appeal, I would like to observe, after the fact: If a provision of law is
unambiguous (i.e., its meaning is plain), further analysis of principles of statutory interpretation
(which often compete with each other) is unwarranted. Vita Food Products v State, 91 Wn.2d
132 (1978), and many other cases.
Respectfully submitted,
Marilyn Showalter
