Washington Mudslide Victims’ Families File Lawsuit
Ten families of 14 Oso, Wash. mudslide victims are suing the state, county and a forest owner.
The Seattle Times reported the lawsuit alleges the disaster was not natural, but the result of a series of actions and inactions.
The lawsuit was filed Friday in King County Superior Court. The Seattle lawyer who filed the lawsuit (Corrie Yackulic) says state law allows some lawsuits to be filed in an adjacent county.
It also alleges the state and county was not cautious enough when it allowed development below the side area.
