Spokane County distributes a pamphlet titled Code of the West to explain life in Washington farms and ranches. It warns newcomers that farms run around the clock during harvest with noise and dust, animals may be dangerous, hunting is common, fences do not guarantee property lines, and emergency response can be slow.
