Description
A property owner, Kenmore Properties, Inc., appeals from a judgment based upon an award made to it by a jury in eminent domain proceedings, as compensation for a part of its property taken and damaged for public use by the respondent, the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle, herein called Metro. The respondent is a municipal corporation created under the Laws of 1957, ch. 213, RCW 35.58, ". . . to provide for the people of the populous metropolitan areas in the state the means of obtaining essential services not adequately provided by existing agencies of local government. . . ." including those arising in connection with garbage and sewage disposal. By RCW 35.58.320, Metro is granted the right of eminent domain to be exercised generally in the same manner and by the same procedure as is or may be provided by law for cities of the first class. Such procedure is set out in detail in RCW 8.12.
