Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“three general sources of information that may be considered in determining whether the premises to be searched are sufficiently identified, absent a correct street address, to enable the officers to locate them with certainty. Those are: (1) other physical descriptions of the premises contained in the warrant or affidavit, State v. Trasvina, [ 16 Wash.App. 519 , 557 P.2d 368 (1976) ]; (2) information concerning the location of the premises based upon the officer’s personal knowledge of the location of the premises or its occupants, State v. Davis [ 165 Wash. 652 , 5 P.2d 1035 (1931)]; State v. Andrich, 135 Wash. 609 , 238 P. 638 (1925); and (3) the personal observations of the officer or officers at the time the warrant is executed. This latter source is recognized in Steele v. United States, [ 267 U.S. 498 , 45 S.Ct. 414 , 69 L.Ed. 757 (1925) ], with its pronouncement that the description suffices if the officer can “with reasonable effort” ascertain and identify the place intended.”
