↑ 0%Parents say Seattle Children's Hospital spied on their searches. CN 28 May 2026, 21:26 GMT+10 PORT ANGELES, Wash. (CN) - A class of parents asked the Washington Supreme Court on Thursday to find that Seattle Children's Hospital violated wiretapping laws by deploying third-party tracking technologies on its website, while the hospital insisted the law doesn't apply to communications with a corporation. "In the last decade or so, the corporate surveillance of our online activities has become increasingly invasive - this case is an example of that," said Ryan Ellersick, an attorney with Zimmerman Reed representing the parents. Three parents sued the hospital in late 2023, accusing it of intentionally deploying a software code owned by Meta that tracks website user activity to secretly intercept and record their sensitive health information. The parents said they used Seattle Children's Hospital's website to search for information about medical conditions on behalf of their children and later received health-related ads on Facebook, including some related to the specific symptoms they had searched on the hospital website. The trial court dismissed the parents' class action and the Washington Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal, finding the "click-and-search navigation" of the hospital's public website didn't fall within the state's wiretap prohibition. Washington's privacy act is one of the most restrictive in the nation and prohibits the interception and recording of certain communications without the consent of all parties. Before the Supreme Court, the parents argued their searches on the hospital's website counted as "private communication" under the state's privacy act. The justices questioned the parents' perceived bounds of the privacy act. "In your view, does the privacy act protect all of my communications with Wikipedia if I searched gambling addiction or miscarriage or anything like that?" asked Justice Colleen Melody. "Are those protected communications that no other party can track?" To the parents, such a search would be protected. "The statute talks about, again, in broad language transmitting messages through any device, and so I think that contemplates future communications technologies," Ellersick said. "I think if the court concludes that Seattle Children's Hospital is not an individual, then the statute will not apply to any communications transmitted through a company website, and there will be essentially carte blanche to engage in mass surveillance of those types of activities." Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis asked whether the problem could be solved by the hospital adding a pop-up window letting website users know they are being tracked. The parents agreed. Seattle Children's Hospital argued the parents were stretching the privacy act beyond its bounds. "The plaintiffs cannot reconcile their claims with the WPA's plain language; WPA is an anti-eavesdropping statute," said James Sigel, attorney with Davis Wright Tremaine. The hospital argued that mere browsing and search history is not a "communication" as covered by the law, nor does the hospital count as an individual under the terms of the law. "The question essentially is: Is a website an individual? Are these really communications with another individual that the WPA requires in order to impose either civil or criminal liability? And I think the answer is no," Sigel said. The hospital also pointed out that the relevant law is specifically an anti-eavesdropping statute intended to prevent third parties from listening in on conversations between two individuals. Plus, the parents and hospital agreed the tracking software is only applied to the hospital's public website that provides general information rather than the private patient portal. "What we're talking about here is just simply the review of information that's sitting on the internet that happens all the time," Sigel said. "So you wouldn't say, for example, that someone communicated with this court when they went to the court's website to look up an opinion that was posted there, that's not within the ordinary understanding of communication." But the parents argued searching is a more dynamic process than the hospital suggested. "The problem was that they used an agent, a third party, to intercept in real time what people were doing on the website, and the consumers did not consent to them monitoring what they were doing," Ellersick said. The Supreme Court did not indicate when it would rule.
Washington Court of Appeals upholds $21M award to doctor in Seattle Children's racial discrimination case. The Washington Court of Appeals upheld a $21 million jury award for Dr. Benjamin Danielson in his racial discrimination lawsuit against Seattle Children's Hospital. Dr. Benjamin Danielson accused the hospital of racism. The hospital responded to the decision, saying they were "extremely disappointed" with the outcome. SEATTLE - The Washington Court of Appeals has unanimously upheld a $21 million jury award in favor of a doctor who filed a lawsuit against Seattle Children's Hospital for racial discrimination. Dr. Benjamin Danielson, the former medical director of the Odessa Brown Children's Clinic, led the clinic for 21 years, serving a largely Black and low-income community. He alleged he was subjected to a racially hostile work environment and faced retaliation after raising concerns about inequitable treatment of patients. A jury found the hospital liable and awarded Danielson $21 million in damages in 2024. The appeals court affirmed that verdict Tuesday. Danielson resigned from the Odessa Brown Children's Clinic in 2020, citing racism within the organization. Following his departure, he publicly accused the hospital of discriminatory practices and said it failed to adequately address racism during his two decades as medical director. In an interview with KING 5 following his resignation in 2021, Danielson alleged the hospital engaged in racist behavior. Among his concerns were alleged disparities in patient care, the hospital's use of security personnel involving Black families, inadequate language services for non-English-speaking patients and the handling of a racial slur incident involving a colleague. An independent review later substantiated many of Danielson's allegations, including findings that the 2009 racial slur complaint was not properly investigated. In a statement following the appeals court decision, attorney Jennifer Bennett of Gupta Wessler LLP, who represented Danielson before the court, said: "For 21 years, Dr. Danielson faced and witnessed discrimination at Seattle Children's Hospital and was retaliated against for speaking up about it. Today, the Court of Appeals affirmed what a jury of his peers already decided: the hospital must be held accountable." A Seattle Children's spokesperson said in a statement, "We are deeply disappointed by the court's decision but respect the judicial process. Seattle Children's will continue to remain fully focused on providing high-quality, compassionate and equitable care for the children and families relying on us. We thank Dr. Danielson for his years of service to the Seattle Children's community." Following the original jury verdict, Seattle Children's said it was disappointed with the outcome. The hospital said its priority is providing equitable, high-quality care to all children and supporting the mission of the Odessa Brown Children's Clinic. Danielson now works and teaches at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Seattle Children's Hospital picks up USD 2.1m NIH grant for AI nanobody engineering platform. May 15, 2026 An AI-driven approach to nanobody engineering is drawing federal support, with Seattle Children's Hospital receiving a USD 2.1 million NIH R01 grant to develop a platform for designing intracellularly functional, conditionally stable nanobodies - a class of single-domain antibody fragments that has long been constrained by off-target accumulation inside living cells. The four-year award, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, runs through April 2030 and is led by principal investigator Jonathan C. Y. Tang, whose prior work spans Columbia University, the University of Washington, and the Allen Institute. The intracellular nanobody problem. Nanobodies - camelid-derived, single-domain antibody fragments - are genetically encodable and small enough to function inside cells, making them attractive as research tools and potential therapeutic agents. The core limitation is that most nanobodies are constitutively stable, meaning they accumulate regardless of whether they have engaged their target. That background signal degrades specificity and limits their utility for low-noise intracellular detection or regulated protein modulation. Tang's group is addressing this by engineering what the grant terms "conditionally stable" nanobodies, or CS-NBs: variants modified by AI to be inherently unstable, but stabilized only upon binding their intended target. The design logic reduces background accumulation and improves target specificity without requiring exogenous small-molecule switches or complex delivery systems. Platform design and validation scope. The project integrates deep learning, structural bioinformatics, and high-throughput cell-based screening across three stated aims. The first expands an existing AI-based stability prediction tool using data from more than 2,000 nanobody-reporter fusions assayed in human 293T cells via high-content microscopy - a dataset scale that should meaningfully extend the model's ability to discriminate stable from unstable intracellular variants. The second aim systematically maps and mutates non-interface nanobody residues across structural classes to define sequence-level rules governing conditional stability without compromising target affinity. Those findings feed back into the predictive model, generating what the investigators describe as a generalizable "destabilizing switch" applicable to newly discovered nanobodies. The third aim moves to in vivo validation in the mouse retina, testing whether CS-NBs engineered in cell culture retain their low-background, target-dependent behavior under physiological conditions. The retina represents a well-characterized in vivo system for optical readout and has established relevance to gene therapy delivery contexts. Translational and community relevance. The project's outputs are explicitly designed for broad dissemination. The investigators plan to release an open-source bioinformatics tool, large annotated datasets of nanobody variants, and validated CS-NB constructs through platforms including GitHub and Addgene. That distribution model positions the platform as infrastructure for the wider research community rather than a proprietary pipeline. The translational case rests on the premise that low-background intracellular binders would expand the utility of nanobodies in both imaging and protein modulation contexts - areas with downstream relevance to target validation, cell biology research, and potentially therapeutic protein degradation strategies. The grant does not name a specific disease indication, situating the work as enabling technology rather than disease-directed research. NIGMS funding for this type of platform-level tool development reflects the institute's stated mission to support innovative enabling technologies in fundamental biomedical science, and the award adds to a broader pattern of federal investment in AI-assisted protein engineering over recent grant cycles.

Dispute over Seattle Children's helipad noise sparks public outcry. Published May 5, 2026 6:06pm PDT Noise complaints are forcing medical helicopters to land a mile away from a Seattle hospital. The decades-old agreement restricting flights at Seattle Children's Hospital has sparked outrage and a planned weekend protest. The brief. * * A decades-old rule limits helicopter landings at Seattle Children's to emergencies, sparking renewed backlash online. * Critics say diverting non-urgent flights to a UW landing site could delay care for seriously ill children. * Hospital leaders want to revisit the agreement, while a protest and petition are pushing for fewer restrictions. SEATTLE - Frustration online has thrust a decades-old agreement impacting Seattle Children's Hospital and the Laurelhurst neighborhood back into the spotlight, as critics argue noise complaints are hindering life-saving medical transports. The controversy stems from a conditional use permit established more than 30 years ago. The agreement says helicopters can only land at the hospital's helipad during life-threatening emergencies. In non-urgent cases, aircrafts must land at Graves Field on the University of Washington campus, located roughly one mile away. Graves Field (FOX 13 Seattle) The backstory: A recently deleted tweet and subsequent discussions on Reddit have fueled public anger regarding the restrictions. Critics argue that diverting medical flights, even those deemed "non-urgent," creates unnecessary risks for pediatric patients. In response to the growing online tension, a protest is scheduled for Saturday, May 9 at 11:30 a.m. A flyer circulating online states the protest is scheduled to happen at Sand Point Way and NE 45th St. Additionally, a Change.org petition regarding helipad access has already garnered 2,800 signatures. Rebecca Baldwin, a former cardiac patient at Seattle Children's who underwent four open-heart surgeries there, said the issue is personal. Her daughter is also now a patient at the facility. "I wish these people could try to put themselves in our position," Baldwin said. "How would you feel if this was to your child?" Rebecca Baldwin and her daughter What they're saying: The Life Flight Network, which landed at the hospital helipad on April 26, emphasized the importance of speed in a statement to FOX 13, noting that "every second matters in air medical transport. Direct and rapid access to care is what gives critically ill patients the best chance at a positive outcome. We appreciate and support Seattle Children's and continue to advocate for operational standards that reflect the urgency of our most vulnerable patients." Seattle Children's Hospital officials stated that while most neighbors are supportive, efforts by some to restrict access put an "unnecessary burden" on the medical system. According to the hospital, the facility receives three or fewer helicopter transports per week, and nearly all of those patients are admitted to an intensive care unit. Hospital leadership said they are "eager to revisit" the 30-year-old agreement, welcoming city leaders and community members to join the conversation. Seattle Children's Hospital (FOX 13 Seattle) The Response: The Laurelhurst Community Council (LCC) released a statement, clarifying that the permit is a legal agreement between the hospital and the City of Seattle. The council noted they had not been contacted directly regarding concerns with the current terms. "LCC fully supports helipad landings for all children requiring intensive and lifesaving care, and is fully committed to actively participate in any discussions between the City of Seattle and Seattle Children's Hospital to ensure the hospital continues delivering world class service and care to patients," the statement read. In 2020, the President of the Laurelhurst Community Council, Colleen McAleer, commented on the helicopter service at the Seattle Children's Standing Advisory Committee meeting. According to her public comment, she noted that the "helicopters are louder and always landing on top of the building." She also commented that at that time, "there had been fewer landings in the athletic field; almost all the landings are on top of the building. It seems some of the helicopter pilots are not trained on how air-lift drops are to go." Despite this support for emergencies, the requirement for non-emergency flights to land a mile away remains a central point of contention for those calling for unrestricted helipad access.
Grant boosts child lead poisoning screening in underserved Washington clinics: healthlink. The Seattle Children's Care Network, which oversees several pediatric clinics, will use the grant to buy more machines to screen for lead poisoning SEATTLE - A new grant is expanding lead poisoning screening for children across Washington - bringing testing directly into pediatric offices in some of the state's most underserved communities. Lead is a type of heavy metal that, in the past, was used in pipes and even paint. It's banned in most consumer products now because of its toxicity. Children are exceptionally vulnerable to lead poisoning due to their developing brains. "Lead, when it is ingested or inhaled, actually crosses the blood-brain barrier and gets to the brain. And so for young children, that can have devastating impacts on the development of their brains. It can cause permanent loss in IQ," said Dr. Kenisha Campbell, Chief Medical Officer at Seattle Children's Care Network. But trace amounts of lead still manage to make it into water systems and can be present in older buildings, built before 1978. The Washington Department of Health tracks the potential for this via a map that shows lead exposure risks, based on the age of homes and poverty levels. "Lead poisoning is still an issue. A lot of people think, 'Oh, that's something that's way in the past.' It's still an issue," said Dr. Jay Fathi. Fathi is the plan president for Molina Healthcare of Washington. Announced in April, Molina provided a $40,000 grant to Seattle Children's Care Network to purchase six lead-screening machines for kids across Western Washington clinics. Here's a breakdown: * King County: North Seattle Pediatrics, Valley Children's Clinic and Woodinville Pediatric Clinic will receive lead screening machines * Snohomish County: Richmond Pediatrics will receive a lead screening machine * Island County: Pediatric Associates of Whidbey Island will receive a lead screening machine * Thurston County: South Sound Pediatrics will receive a lead screening machine "By directly putting the screening test in the clinics, that should, just from a convenience standpoint, if nothing else, increase the access to Washington families to get their children screened," Fathi said. Dr. Campbell says most of the time, it's difficult to recognize signs of lead poisoning in kids, as symptoms are very broad: such as fatigue, irritability, headache or abdominal pain. "You can't tell that a child or an infant has been exposed to lead unless you get to the level of lead poisoning where your lead levels are extremely high. So that's why screening is really important," Campbell said. In Washington, only 7 percent of children under age 6 have been screened for lead poisoning, according to data from the WA DOH. The new machines from the grant will be used at clinics in areas known for high rates of lead exposure, a high percentage of Medicaid patients, and areas with low screening rates. "That makes it much easier for patients to be able to get screening because for many reasons, patients may not be able to get to the lab or they may not want to go to the lab. So it's really important to have that ability in the office," Campbell said. The screening machines analyze blood samples from a finger prick. Campbell says there's no known "safe level" of lead in the blood, but the point is to catch any signs early. "It's not the kind of highest sensitivity way to get lead levels, but it's going to allow those practices to screen a lot more patients," Campbell said. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends lead risk screening from 6 months to 6 years of age. Children on Medicaid are required to be tested at 12 and 24 months.
