The trend shift in adults per family household is so insane.

its even more insane that every important policymaker and economist thought we were slowly soaking up a glut of homes even into the 2010s.

And it’s even more insane that there are still supply-crisis skeptics today.

Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is now Seattle Streets Alliance!

After 15 years of organizing for safer streets, our work has grown far beyond neighborhood greenways.

Our new name reflects a broader mission: making every Seattle street safer and more welcoming for people who walk, bike, and roll.

Just got word that the Tacoma planning commission advanced a motion to fully eliminate parking mandates citywide at their meeting tonight, by a 8-0 vote with one abstention.

If implemented, Washington's second and third largest cities would have both beat Seattle to eliminating parking mandates.

Washington’s budget has actually declined by 60% overall.

Even though the state’s yearly budget grew from $22 billion to $37 billion (adjusted for inflation) over the past 30 years, it didn’t keep up with our state’s capacity to invest. Learn more: opportunityinstitute.org/blog/post/wa...
