Andy Nelson: If there ain't proper signage, get rid of the fineage.

I have no idea who Andy Nelson is. But in reading Bill de hÓra's latest post I ended up here which, after clicking through a few "next blog >>" links I came across this post.

The only reason I am posting this is that I know this parking lot well as I used to spend a considerable amount of my life between the Key Arena in Seattle and a couple of the restaraunts and bars that were nearby. Why that is is of no big importance. I just found the post funny. And the fact that I happen to be REALLY familiar with this parking lot made me feel it was worthy of a post.

Besides, the fact that this kid took Dicks to court and won puts a big phat smile on my face as I know many people who have been victims of the "impound happy" nature of this particular parking lot in Queen Anne. Good on ya' Andy! :D

If there ain't proper signage, get rid of the fineage.

On Monday, I went to King County Superior Court to face Dick's in a brutal impound contest hearing. I came prepared with slick documents like the map pictured above and many pictures. I also studied the law pertaining to impounds very carefully (I hope none of you ever have to read any section of the Revised Code of Washington, or RCW).
