Another Vacation Problem
In 1988, a Condominium was recorded, this is the boundary description:
This is the area of the plat:
The description calls out the streets that are vacated, but makes no mention of the alley in block 3. But it does say “ADJOINING SAID BLOCKS, THAT WOULD ATTACH BY OPERATION OF LAW”
RCW 35.79.040
Title to vacated street or alley.
If any street or alley in any city or town is vacated by the city or town council, the property within the limits so vacated shall belong to the abutting property owners, one-half to each.According to State law, 1/2 the alley should’ve attached; but it didn’t according to the original survey. Subsequent surveys in that block show all of the alley attaching to the lots on the Northwesterly side of the Block.
34 Years is a long time; does the condominium have a claim to the Southeasterly half of the alley?
TIA to all of the good people of this board that respond; you guys are the best!
