Abstract

O'Meara v. Washington State Bd. Against Discrimination\ called upon the Washington Supreme Court to pass for the first time on the constitutionality of Washington's Anti-Discrimination Statute. The court invalidated the portion applicable to housing. This comment discusses the social and legal contexts in which the case was decided, the disposition of the case at the trial and appellate levels, and the merit of some alternative measures for preventing discrimination in housing.
