MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT <br /> 11 DECLARING PUBLIC NUISANCES AND <br /> LYNDA J. YOST,an individual, ISSUING INJUNCTION AND WARRANT <br /> 12 OF ABATEMENT <br /> Defendant. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 1. INTRODUCTION AND RELIEF REQUESTED <br /> 15 <br /> Defendant Yost's property has been an eye-sore in the community for years now. In fact, <br /> 16 <br /> Yost's failure to keep the property free of garbage,junk, and overgrown vegetation together with <br /> 17 <br /> 18 her refusal to comply with City building codes has resulted in the property (including the house) <br /> 19 becoming a public nuisance. <br /> 20 The City has been struggling with nuisance conditions at the property since 2006, and even <br /> 21 had the property declared a"drug nuisance"in 2011. Yost has made some half-hearted attempts at <br /> 22 nuisance abatement during this period. She has periodically removed junk, inoperable vehicles, <br /> 23 and garbage and she has attempted to manage the vegetation at the property. Her efforts,however, <br /> 24 <br /> are brief and not sustained. <br /> 25 <br /> Yost has made little effort to abate nuisance conditions relating to the house on the <br /> Yost Summary Judgment Motion OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY <br /> Page 1 of 23 CITY OF EVERETT <br /> 2930 Wetmore Avenue,10-C <br /> Everett WA 98201 <br /> (425)257-7000 <br />
