INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item
        3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which have been filed with the United States
        Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are incorporated herein
        by reference:
(a)
The Registrant's annual report for the year ended
                        December 31, 2007, filed with the Commission on February 29, 2008 pursuant
                        to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act
                        of 1934").
(b)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
                        of the Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
                        Registrant's annual report incorporated by reference herein pursuant
                        to (a) above.
(c)
The description of the Registrant's securities
                        contained in the Registrant's registration statement on Form 8-A
                        filed with the Commission on April 28, 1985 under Section 12(g) of the
                        Exchange Act of 1934, including any amendment or report filed for the
                        purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
        13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a
        post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or
        which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated
        by reference in this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing
        of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be
        incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for the
        purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or
        in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by
        reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or
        superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part
        of this registration statement.

        4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5.
        Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.
        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business
        Corporation Act (the "Washington Act") authorize a court to award, or a
        corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers
        on terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for
        liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Article XII of the Registrant's
        Restated Articles of Incorporation and Article IX of the Registrant's Amended and
        Restated Bylaws together provide for indemnification of the Registrant's directors,
        officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted by Washington law. The
        directors and officers of the Registrant also may be indemnified against liability they may
        incur for serving in that capacity pursuant to a liability insurance policy maintained by
        the Registrant for such purpose.
II-2
Section 23B.08.320 of the Washington Act authorizes a corporation to limit a
        director's liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for
        acts or omissions as a director, except in certain circumstances involving intentional
        misconduct, self-dealing or illegal corporate loans or distributions, or any transaction
        from which the director personally receives a benefit in money, property or services to
        which the director is not legally entitled.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
        of 1933 may be permitted for directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant
        pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion
        of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
        Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
The Registrant has entered into a contract with each director memorializing
        the indemnification provision referenced above.

Item 9.
        Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
                        being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
                        statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
                        the Securities Act of 1933.
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                        after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
                        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
                        represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
                        registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
                        decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
                        securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
                        deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
                        may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
                        pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
                        price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
                        offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
                        Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
        distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
        to such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
        and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
        amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
        Commission by
II-3
the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities
        Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
        statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                        Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
                        to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
                        therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
                        to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                        amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
                        termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the
                        Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i)
If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A)
Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule
                        424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of
                        the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the
                        registration statement; and
(B)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
                        424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in
                        reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule
                        415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information
                        required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to
                        be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of
                        the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the
                        date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described
                        in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the
                        issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall
                        be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating
                        to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus
                        relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
                        to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Provided,
                        however,
that no statement made in a registration
                        statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made
                        in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
                        registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
                        statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to
                        such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the
                        registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
                        statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective
                        date; or
(ii)
If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus
                        filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating
                        to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or
                        other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to
                        be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is
                        first used after effectiveness.
Provided,
                        however,
that no statement made in a registration
                        statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made
                        in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
                        registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
                        statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to
                        such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the
                        registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
                        statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of
                        first use.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the
                        Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial
                        distribution of the securities:
The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of
        securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement,
        regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
        securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
        communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be
        considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
                        Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
                        424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
                        prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred
                        to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to
                        the offering containing material information about the undersigned
                        Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned
                        Registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering
                        made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
II-4
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
                        purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
                        each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section
                        13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
                        applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
                        pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
                        incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
                        be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
                        and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
                        initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
                        Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
                        controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
                        or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
                        Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
                        policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
                        event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
                        the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
                        officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense
                        of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
                        controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
                        Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
                        settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
                        jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
                        public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
                        adjudication of such issue.
