R/L Associates Inc. v. City of Seattle

[73 WashApp Page 390] The City of Seattle appeals a summary judgment claiming collateral estoppel did not apply, a land use variance is not a property interest, the action was barred by its nonclaim statute, res judicata did not bar dismissal, and the court improperly awarded attorneys' fees. We affirm the award of damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and remand for recalculation of attorneys' fees.
