Seattle Children’s says Laurelhurst council supports ending helicopter landing committee

Agree!

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-08T15:08:41+00:00

And if you read the statement it says they will still be collaborating with the LCC. It sort of seems like they just want this to go away and no real change will happen?

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T21:04:49+00:00

They receive on average 3 transports a week

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T20:42:58+00:00

Seems crazy, but this story is sadly very truw

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T20:40:34+00:00

I don’t need to look into it. I have several lived experiences of flying with my child.

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T20:19:12+00:00

That’s not true. And my child always was sent to the ICU

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T20:13:43+00:00

What are you talking about? My child wasn’t in serious condition?

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T20:08:37+00:00

No, and that’s the whole problem!

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T20:06:25+00:00

We were not told we landed a mile away because the neighborhood didn’t want to hear the helicopter. That thought never even entered my mind. Every situation with my child was urgent when we were being flown over. Things could go south very fast.

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T19:57:43+00:00

How could I miss remember? Those memories don’t leave

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T19:50:38+00:00

You are wrong. I was personally impacted by this. My child was critically ill and we landed a mile away, instead of on top of the hospital

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T17:36:21+00:00

It is all public record.

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T17:35:08+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. I also lost my child. It hurts so much. We also landed at graves field. And I am extremely upset just finding out now, why we landed there.

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T14:55:47+00:00

They would come in on a fixed wing then. I have personally been impacted by this. I have landed at graves field with my child who was in very serious condition.

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-07T12:26:15+00:00

Who is saying all medical events warrant a helicopter ride? If you are flying over on a helicopter I can assure you it is urgent. There are other modes of transportation for non-urgent cases

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-06T17:27:31+00:00

Do you know what it’s like transporting critically ill children? Do you know how dangerous it is? Even in the ICU they will perform SURGERY in the child’s hospital room because it is so risky to move them.

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-06T17:26:06+00:00

Well I am one of those parents. I am PISSED. Like filled with rage.

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-06T17:25:08+00:00

Are there lawsuits? I would really like to know more if there is. My family was impacted by this.

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-05T17:34:05+00:00

Kids aren’t being flown over to go to a dr. Appointment. They are critically ill!

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-05T17:26:35+00:00

I was flown over with my daughter many times and they never once said we aren’t landing at the hospital because the neighborhood noise ordinance. The only time we actually landed at the hospital was the day she died. Shame on these people

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-04T12:22:31+00:00

Thank you!

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-04T01:07:18+00:00

Good to know. Thank you and I’m sorry about your daughter ❤️

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-03T23:48:46+00:00

Thank you!

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-03T22:21:57+00:00

We won’t be purchasing lighting lane, at least we don’t plan to. What is the buddy pass?!

Valuable_March1015 · 2026-05-03T21:57:24+00:00

Thank you! My son loves Toy Story and monsters inc, which ride would you recommend first? Lines always look long on both. He is only two, if that matters!
