Seattle Children’s Hospital’s proposed Major Institution Master Plan
On Aug. 11, 2009, the Seattle Hearing Examiner published and mailed a recommendation that the City Council deny the request by Seattle Children’s Hospital for Council approval of a new Major Institution Master Plan (MIMP). The review of a proposed MIMP is subject to the city’s quasi-judicial rules which means the Council will act as judges in its review, rather than legislators. The first meeting that will begin the review process is scheduled for Nov. 18, 2009.
