Traffic is bad and getting worse, residents complain. I can remember when there wasn't a bridge. I guess there is nothing you can do about it.
Laurelhurst residents are feisty, however, when it comes to fighting for their quality of life.
The Laurelhurst Community Club, which represents about 2,800 households, filed suit against the Seattle Community College District to try to block its purchase of Battelle's research center. A trial date is set for next month. Club members say they would support its use as a conference center, or possibly as a retirement center. But they don't want more development on the site or a more intensive use, said Jeannie Hale, club president. While many residents are loyal Husky fans, some don't like the proposal to convert Husky Stadium into an arena suitable for the Seattle Seahawks.
