WSDOT is in the midst of their Transportation Resilience Improvement Plan, and seeking YOUR feedback! 💭✏️ We want clean, well-connected transit that's built to withstand our changing climate and increasing extreme weather -- let them know your thoughts by January 30th #WSDOT

Next week we'll be live talking about middle housing in the 2026 #WALeg session. There are a number of actions the Legislature can take to make more housing types available in more places - tune in next Wednesday! futurewise.org/livestream-m...

Alex Brennan of @futurewise.bsky.social & @cityjane.bsky.social talk about the American housing nightmare and how states can step in to define best practice regulation that increases supply and brings down costs.  www.statesforum.org/january-book...

After big wins on middle housing, transit-oriented development, rent stabilization and parking reform in the last few sessions, #WALeg is moving towards some more technical and targeted bills to help implement these big policies successfully, and we're ready 👏 www.theurbanist.org/2026/01/14/2...

tomorrow night! futurewise.salsalabs.org/januarycccha...

First legislative hearing for one of our priorities! 🚨

Our member organization @neighborswelcomeri.bsky.social isn't just optimistic, they're putting in the work 🛠️ More homes for more neighbors in RI!

And just like that, the House has been called to order and the 2026 legislative session can begin! First order of the day is ceremonial activities. We just processed in, and now we do the role, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, the national anthem, and yes, a prayer. #waleg

Happy first day of session! We're back in Olympia for the next 60 days fighting for you, your neighborhood, and forests, farmlands, and waters. What're you fighting for this session? Let's Grow 🌱 Together

Last April, our legal team filed an appeal of the Kitsap County Comp Plan for failing to plan adequately on issues including affordable housing supply, protecting rural areas from sprawl, and more. Thanks @theurbanist.org for covering the complex issues facing Kitsap!

Felicity Maxwell at @texansforhousing.bsky.social and Alex Brennan at @futurewise.bsky.social show that statewide housing standards can work. ✨ Legalizing homes near transit and job centers doesn't just build housing; it connects people to opportunity and lowers the cost of living.

Happy new year, land use nerds 🤓 This posting is still accepting applications, send to your talented friends!

❗Why this case matters This is the first to challenge a local comp plan under new state housing policy, HB 1220. So this win sets important precedent for affordable housing planning statewide.

And now you can check out the full details of the case decision on our blog → futurewise.org/futurewise-w...

“This is the first time the state Growth Management Hearings Board (GMHB) has fully grappled with a challenge to a local Comprehensive Plan under 2021’s House Bill 1220, which requires cities and counties to plan for future housing needs across a range of incomes specific to each jurisdiction.”

Big news 🎉 In April, we filed a challenge to Mercer Island's comprehensive plan, and last week we got a decision: "The city of Mercer Island fell well short of state affordable housing requirements" the state’s Growth Management Hearings Board ruled late last week. shorturl.at/VOeZp
