The Branches did tell Anne Gordon to cease her commercial business or vacate on June 29,1988, which was soon after the first complaint was filed. This cease or vacate directive came after Snohomish County investigated the premises and found that Gordon’s operation of a business violated local zoning provisions. Had Gordon obeyed this order immediately, neither the filming of the commercial nor Frobig’s injuries would have occurred. However, Gordon had 30 days within which to cease or vacate and 10 days within which to appeal the order, and she chose to pursue her commercial activities during this period. The attack on Clara Frobig occurred before the appeal period expired. It is difficult to see how the Branches could have acted more expeditiously to evict Gordon, if that was indeed their duty as a result of the complaints made about her animals.
