Narrative:A privately registered amateur built Lancair 320, with one passenger on board, was on a flight from Orcas Island (KORS) to Roche Harbor (RCE). On final approach into RCE there was difficulty experienced in getting the left main gear down and the aircraft was diverted to a familiar airport, Pitt Meadows (CYPK). Numerous attempts to extend the landing gear were unsuccessful and the CYPK tower was notified of an intentional gear up landing. The landing was completed on grass north of RWY 26L. There was substantial damage to the aircraft; the passenger sustained minor injuries. An inspection of the left main landing gear determined that the landing gear damper eccentric bushing was cracked causing the landing gear to bind.
