SAGLE, Idaho — A Washington state couple is seeking about $370,000 from a county in northern Idaho after a landslide destroyed their home.

The Bonner County Daily Bee reported that Lee and Myloa Stewart of Spokane Valley filed a precursor to a lawsuit against Bonner County on Monday.

The summer residence near Lake Pend Oreille’s was knocked off its foundation by a landslide on March 18. The house was unoccupied at the time.

The landslide came when a portion of Talache Beach Road above the home failed amid soaking rains.

Bonner County officials say they don’t comment on pending litigation.
