County roads that were platted but unopened or unused prior to 1905 may have been automatically vacated by operation of law. RCW 36.87.090. <em>See also Gillis v. King County</em>, 42 Wn.2d 373 (1953), and <em>Lewis v. Seattle</em>, 174 Wash. 219 (1933). A street vacation does not vacate utility easements.
