Laurelhurst, Seattle Children's agree to change helicopter landing policy

For decades, helicopters that transport kids to Seattle Children’s Hospital were required to land a mile away in some cases and make the rest of the journey by ambulance. That’s because some residents of the Laurelhurst neighborhood were concerned about noise. After a social media post reignited the controversy, the hospital and the neighborhood association have agreed to revisit the policy. We talk with KUOW reporter Anna Boiko-Weyrauch.
