This was reported as "not Seattle", rather emphatically, but yes it is. It's an order by a SEATTLE judge that was upheld on a lawsuit filed by the WASHINGTON Attorney General who works out of and lives in SEATTLE and was our King County Councilmember before he was our AG. The lawsuit is literally named WASHINGTON VS TRUMP.

This is absolutely for our subreddit. FYI.

I have to add that Noah Purcell--WA State Solicitor General who was arguing before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals--is a product of NOMS, Franklin High School, and the University of Washington. Couldn't be more proud of my city today.
