Our lawyers represented family members who had owned property in downtown Seattle from its early pioneer days. The state of Washington filed a condemnation case against them so that it could expand the downtown Convention and Trade Center . We presented a unique econometric analysis to show that property values were at the highest level in the history of downtown Seattle . After a month-long trial, the jury agreed and awarded our clients and other property owners over $36 million, the highest condemnation award in the history of King County.
