The competing views

What the available sources tell us about the request and the decision being challenged:

The challenge

The challengers want a temporary order stopping enforcement of the permit rules.

The decision or response

The judge refused temporary protection. That refusal is not necessarily a final ruling on whether the rules are constitutional, and the calendar does not explain Seattle's full defence.

Based on the court’s case description and the filings identified below. Where a side’s detailed argument is unavailable, we explain the earlier ruling and say what is missing. Allegations are not findings of fact.
