It took 7 years but we legalized 4 floors and corner stores everywhere in Seattle!

Seattle's amended Comp Plan is a major step forward for housing abundance, with the potential to reshape our city to be more affordable, inclusive, & sustainable. But there's still work to be done. Learn about the impacts of these wins, what comes next, & actions you can take today: bit.ly/482PG3Y

One takeaway ➡️ hosting a "hot for housing" summer series meet up on Partiful can be a great way to engage folks 🥵@603forward.bsky.social

Seattle urbanists! We need you to show up this afternoon at City Hall for a public hearing on Seattle’s plan for housing and growth over the next 20 years. We’re 30 mins in and almost all testimony has been anti-housing and focused on trees. Logistics and talking points here: tinyurl.com/bdd43eua

Another evening battling NIMBYs, this time for the proposed affordable housing development at Fort Lawton in Magnolia

Next week is Affordable Housing Week! I'm hosting a packed week of events, starting with a kickoff and legislative roundtable on May 12, 10am at Town Hall Seattle. www.housingconsortium.org/events/affor...

Should be an interesting panel! Tickets are going quick

Cambridge just passed what is easily the most ambitious citywide rezoning for more housing. 4-story apartments will be allowed everywhere in the city, and up to 6 stories if 20% of the homes are affordable at 80% AMI. It also strips out most of the rules limiting new housing construction

One day to go. Join the pro-housing movement *tomorrow* at Seattle City Hall & use your voice to speak up for housing. We must demonstrate to the City Council that #Seattle is a city that cares about more homes, better housing, & supporting all of our neighbors. RSVP here: buff.ly/4hFtKNS

Seattle housing advocates: Now is the time to act. The Comp Plan Update is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to reform zoning for more housing in all neighborhoods, but NIMBY opposition is heating up. Next Wed, Feb 5, rally at Seattle City Hall at 4pm, before the 5pm public hearing. bit.ly/feb5rally
