MEMORANDUM*


2
Having reviewed the record, read and considered the briefs, and heard oral argument, the panel concludes the release which plaintiff-appellant Thomas J. Downie signed is valid and enforceable.  The release, which is not inconspicuous, covers the injuries Downie alleges he sustained from the Cascading Waterfall, and is not contrary to public policy under Washington law.  Shields v. Sta-Fit, Inc., 903 P.2d 525, 528 (Wash.Ct.App.1995);  see also Wagenblast v. Odessa Sch. Dist., 758 P.2d 968, 970-71 (Wash.1988).


3
There are no genuine issues of material fact regarding the validity of the release.  The district court did not err in granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants-appellees.


4
AFFIRMED.
