(concurring) — I write separately only because I would resolve the issues of exhaustion of administrative remedies and Union intervention differently from the majority See Spokane County ex rel. County Comm’rs v. State, 136 Wn.2d 644, 660-61, 966 P.2d 305 (1998) (Talmadge, J., dissenting).
On the principal issue of FERC jurisdiction, I agree entirely with the erudite separation of powers analysis by Justice Johnson, and I would reverse the trial court.
