My question involves real estate located in the State of: Washington, city of Bellingham.

It's pretty simple - I have a neighbor whom I have completely become fed up with. My house is surrounded on four sides by other homes - only one neighbor seems to be having an issue with noise with me. It's escalated to the point that when the police respond, they apologize for coming out and annoying us and tell us that we aren't doing anything wrong. At this point, I believe my only option is to file a harassment suite against my neighbor? I would also think she/he is violating laws related to "crying wolf" 911 calls. The police refuse to tell me which neighbor is complaining or I would try to deal with the issue directly with them. However, aren't all police responses considered public record? How am I supposed to file a complaint against my neighbor if they refuse to tell me who it is (I have a pretty good idea anyways)?

I found this based on the noise laws in my city: http://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Bel...ngham1024.html

It's so incredibly vague, even if they gave me a fine for $250 (they have not done so yet because I have done nothing wrong) how would that possibly hold up in court if I challenged it? The law is completely subjective - there are no decibel requirements, just if an officer is 50 ft off your property and can "hear" a "noise." Every other place I've lived in had a decibel maximum. This law is so subjective, I should be able to call 911 and complain that my neighbor farted next door and I could hear it at my house and want them fined for it. Yesterday was so ridiculous that the police came out because I was talking to one other person on my front porch - everyone in our house was asleep, and we were having a casual conversation outside. They again apologized for annoying us. I have no idea how any neighbor would be able to hear us, let alone not be able to sleep through it without supersonic hearing.

I'm trying to mainly obtain the best advice about what to do. I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
