A Burien teacher who says she was given lousy seating at a Garth Brooks concert because she uses a wheelchair is being permitted to go forward with her lawsuit against Seattle, but whether she can still go after the popular country-music singer remains to be seen.

Garth Brooks has no obligation to provide front-row seating for people in wheelchairs, a judge said yesterday, disappointing an advocate for the handicapped who claimed the entertainer unfairly made room for pretty women over people with disabilities.
In a hearing at the King County Superior Court, Judge Kathleen Learned ruled in the country singer's favor in several injunctions, essentially eliminating Brooks from a lawsuit and placing the burden on KeyArena management.
