Washington: Council waiting for judge to make decision on tunnel initiative
The eight City Councilmembers who support the tunnel replacement for the Alaskan Way Viaduct will wait for a judge’s ruling Friday to see whether Seattle voters will get to weigh in on the project. “We have no idea what she’s going to do,” Council President Richard Conlin told seattlepi.com Tuesday, shortly after he cancelled a special meeting at which the Council was going to consider a tunnel resolution. Conlin said his colleagues decided the resolution wasn’t the best approach. However he said tunnel proponents still have options, including putting a competing measure on the ballot.
