If you were one of the many concerned about how construction of WSDOT's latest SR-520 project's impact to the Washington Park Arboretum, take note.

Pete Holmes finally had his day in court today, and it looks like Seattle will get a chance to have its say on the deep-bore tunnel project. In an attempt to block a referendum that seeks to reverse the City Council's approval of the deep-bore tunnel, Holmes, among others, had asserted that the City Council decision was not subject to referendum as it was an "administrative act," with the legislative decision back in 2009, way too long ago to put it up to a vote. more ›

King County Superior Court will make the final decision. more ›
