The Washington Huskies having had a great season last year, now start the season with a loss. Kudos to Pete Holmes and the Washington State Association of Municipal Attorneys (Amicus) in winning a splendid decision from the Washington Supreme Court determining that the City's historic landmark designation ordinance applies to the University of Washington. While state specific, the decision varies from a 1980 decision that had reached the contrary result concluding that the law has changed since then. https://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/942323.pdf Charles W.
