Residents Call For Expansion of Seattle Growth Boundary
Residents in the Seattle region are calling on officials to expand the area's urban growth boundary to allow denser development in what is currently outside the border.
"For the past year, debate has raged over the hospital's request to move the growth-boundary line that separates urban from rural in fast-growing King County."
"The Metropolitan King County Council will vote Monday on the hospital proposal, one of a number of requests from property owners that the urban-growth-boundary line be moved to allow denser development."
"Some of the proposed boundary adjustments have stirred deep controversy."
