Stafford, C.J.
(dissenting) — I dissent. Once again the majority has chosen to ignore the clear dictate of Const. art. 2, § 26 which provides:
The legislature shall direct by law, in what manner, and in what courts, suits may be brought against the state.
(Italics mine.) My objection to the action taken by the majority has been stated in both Cook v. State, 83 Wn.2d 599, 521 P.2d 725 (1974) and Shafer v. State, 83 Wn.2d 618, 521 P.2d 736 (1974). Nothing will be gained by repeating it.
