A lawsuit to prevent the Port of Seattle from demolishing the Lora Lake Apartments was roundly criticized last week by Burien City Council members.
Calling the action "unfortunate," Mayor Joan McGilton said the King County Housing Authority "did not consider the facts and data that the city of Burien put in front of them" before filing the complaint.
"Burien is not a bad player here in the affordable housing issue," declared Deputy Mayor Rose Clark.
