"The churches want an exemption to the area's limits on growth into rural areas to allow them to put houses of worship and schools where development normally does not go. So strongly does the Archdiocese feel about the issue, it has taken its case to the King County Council, the state Legislature and to both Seattle dailies, where Archbishop Alexander J. Brunett made a strong case in print why we're all wet."
