Planners support Seattle Children's expansion

Seattle Children's hospital should be allowed to more than double the number of beds and building sizes on its Laurelhurst campus between now and 2030, according to city planners. The determination comes in a recommendation to the Seattle Hearing Examiner's Office, which plans a hearing on the project March 2. The proposed expansion would take in the hospital's 22-acre campus and the 1.8 acres facing it.
