WHEREAS, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners has reviewed a road vacation

That portion of unopened Second Street being 40 feet wide and 120 feet long adjoining
Lot 1 of Block 11 in the plat of South Port Townsend, as recorded at Page 10, Volume
1 of Plats, records of Jefferson County, Washington.

(5) years after the authority is granted for opening it shall be thereby vacated and the authority
