Fenton v. City of Seattle

The plaintiffs Fenton and wife seek recovery of damages claimed as the result of injuries inflicted upon their lots 9 and 10, of block 36, Gilman's Addition to Seattle, by the city's alleged unreasonable and negligent establishing and physical construction of the original grade of the street upon which the lots front. A trial upon the merits in the superior court for King county sitting with a jury, resulted in verdict and judgment denying to the Fentons recovery in any sum, from which they have appealed to this court.
