Outcome

The Washington Supreme Court ruled that the Department of Labor & Industries does not qualify as a 'person' under RCW 4.24.510 and thus is not immune to Segaline's tort claims, which were remanded to trial court. However, Segaline's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim against Croft was affirmed as time-barred because the statute of limitations accrued when the no trespass notice was served on June 30, 2003, and the amended complaint adding Croft did not relate back to the original filing date.
