- Ferlin v. Chuckanut Community Forest Park District – Court of Appeals holds that raising and spending money generated from property tax levy imposed by park district to aid city in paying off its loan that city took out to purchase park land was a legitimate park purpose, and thus district did not exceed its statutory authority by adopting levy, although district did not own title to real property contained in the park in fee simple.
