May 10, 2024

We noted in earlier posts that some cities won’t be quick to update codes to be in compliance with HB1110, and Bellevue is living up to that projection. Looking around more at where they are, we’re seeing that Bellevue squarely in the middle of their comprehensive plan (comp plan) amendments for 2024, the first step is preparing to push forward code compliant zoning changes for HB1110. It appears that comp plan changes and other procedural activities will be ongoing through...

April 18, 2024

We’ve been hearing about this “middle housing” thing and the changes it will bring to Washington State. Earlier this month, State legislators adopted House Bill 1110 which formally requires jurisdictions to allow more housing typologies and housing density throughout the most densely populated areas. The map above by Makers shows where the various areas of change are concentrated. THANKS, THAT’S NICE. WHAT’S MIDDLE HOUSING?
