NEW rules for ADUs just dropped, allowing them to be built larger, easier, and more creatively. 👏😍 Thank you to our state officials who, once again, saved common sense legislation from getting stuck in endless process!

The line for comment at city council has begun! Hustle on down!

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Our local elected officials are not representative of the diversity of our population, due to low-turnout elections held in odd years. More evidence for legalizing even-year local elections. Better for diversity, better for democracy.

Two Seattle City Council hearings today (9:30 remote, 4pm in person) for interim middle housing legislation.

The message is clear: no poison pills to our housing plan! Instead, we want improvements that will make it faster and cheaper to build more homes.

The May 19 public hearing on the Comp Plan is TODAY! If you did not get a chance to speak last time, you will be given priority this time around, according to City staff.

"The people who show up to these meetings are largely unrepresentative of their communities. [] They’re more likely to be homeowners, they’re more likely to be older, and they are also overwhelmingly opposed to the construction of new housing.”

The beautiful Phinney Ridge development that faced neighborhood opposition, but which now hosts several restaurants/bars loved by the community, including Ben's Bread and Doe Bay Wine Co.

We need a "Montanans for More Housing in Seattle" group.
