After some confusion, and no small amount of consternation, three Vancouver residents will not be on the hook to pay for the damage after part of an oak tree at Sacajawea Elementary School crashed on their parked cars.

Gregory Nelson rents a home with his wife and a roommate on Northeast 112th Street, across the street from the school’s front entrance and parking lot in the Felida neighborhood.
