[13foxtrot]

From the Opinion:

We 'may not add language to a clear statute, even if
{this court} believes the Legislature intended something else but failed to
express it adequately.'

Amen.

Too bad the WA SC does have that same view on every case. It regularly contorts the law from what the statutory language reads, especially if the misconstruction favors the state against its citizens.
