for the purpose of uniformity and equalization of taxation within the county as defined by statute (RCW
84.40.030) and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC 458-12-301).

the Assessor's market value.

and Sale Deed by the guardian of the estate and is not considered an arm's length agreement as indicated by the Assessor.
Furthermore,the Board sustained the assessed value of the land at$222,680 and the improvement value at$390,570 for a total of
$613,250.
