## Opinion text

Fairhurst, J.
¶27 (concurring) — I agree with the majority that Tyler Sherwood King’s actions did not constitute an immediate threat to life or property that authorized his arrest under the emergency exception of RCW 10.93.070(2). Given this decision, in my view, it is unnecessary to discuss, even as dicta, the officer’s opinion testimony.
Madsen, J., concurs with Fairhurst, J.
