The Washington state Supreme Court let stand a finding that Seattle's ban on guns in parks violated the State pre-emption law.

Winnie Chan v. City of Seattle

It was the third straight loss for the city, which had first attempted to ban firearms from park facilities under former Mayor Greg Nickels, in open defiance of Washington State's model preemption statute. Following its initial loss in King County Superior Court, the city, under Nickels' successor, Mayor Mike McGinn, appealed its loss to the State Court of Appeals. That court also ruled unanimously against the city, which petitioned the state high court last year for review.
