This blog is published by Wolfe Law Group, a construction law practice with offices in Seattle, WA and New Orleans, LA.

Thus far, the blog has focused a great deal on Louisiana news and law related to Chinese Drywall – and the reason is simple: The amount of imported Chinese Drywall in Louisiana is second only to Florida.

Further, Chinese Drywall was by and large imported into Gulf Coast states like Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas.

While the state of Washington is clearly worlds apart from the Gulf Coast region…it’s not out of the woods insofar as Chinese Drywall in concerned. In fact, its among the 12 U.S. states who have imported at least 1 million pounds of tainted drywall from China since January 1, 2006.

A helpful graphic based on data published by the Herald Tribune shows that Washington has imported 2,437,491 pounds of Chinese Drywall since January 1 2006, which is enough to build approximately 270 homes.

As lawsuits gather stem in Florida and Louisiana, and across the Gulf Coast, Washington contractors and suppliers ought to remain viligent and cautious of Chinese Drywall claims.
