UNPUBLISHED OPINIONAPPELWICK, J.
Wright appeals the trial court's summary judgment dismissal of her request for a declaratory judgment interpreting her rights under the underinsured motorist statute, RCW 48.22.030. She argues that adding another vehicle under her insurance coverage created a new policy, triggering Pemco's duty to obtain a new underinsured motorist (UIM) waiver from her. A change to the liability limit or UIM coverage are both recognized as material changes that create a new policy for purposes of the UIM waiver. Wright changed neither. We affirm.
