Just checked the 7.5 minute quad map named "Eliza Island", updated in 1995. It shows the Skagit
Whatcom boundary as a straight east-west line, with the very southern tip of Lummi Island in Skagit County,
and of course therefore puts Viti Rocks in Skagit County. So that must be the word from USGS. Also,
however, checked the property tax assessor's info in both counties-- all of Lummi Island is assessed by
Whatcom County. Since the south end of Lummi is a mountain, and since Viti Rocks are part of the national
wildlife refuge, I suspect that Skagit County was perfectly happy to cede them both to Whatcom County-- at
least for jurisdictional purposes. Still don't know if its "official," or just for convenience.

Maybe we should just start having Island lists? Rock lists? Section lists?Clarice Clark
