AGID, J.

¶ 1 Appellants petitioned the trial court for review of a land exchange between the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission ("Commission") and a private landowner, but the trial court found that the Washington Administrative Procedure Act (APA) precluded judicial review. Because the APA excludes from judicial review agency decisions to acquire real estate by any means, and an exchange is a means of acquisition, we affirm.
