Good morning! We are a newly formed grassroots groups of environmental experts & advocates who love cities, nature, & people. We want to build a fun & collaborative community of environmentalists who love trees and orcas just as much as they love busses, bike lanes, and walkable communities.

A new housing development near Lake Stevens is bulldozing a forest and calling itself The Timbers. Is this sprawling, car-dependent place really the best place to build new homes? Couldn’t we be allowing more housing in our core cities and protecting these forests?

It’s been a long road to get to this moment, but i wouldn’t trade it for anything. The road was filled with an unwavering belief in a better housing system. A dedication to achieving what others said was impossible. I’m feeling so proud and humbled today 🥲

This is the moment in a recent Board meeting our Board and staff celebrated our plans to buy our first ever social housing building — Elara at the Market. Today we can finally say we are officially the owners, and social housing is a reality in Seattle!

SSHD will focus on creating 2, 3 and some 4 bedroom homes. These larger family-sized units are rarely built by private market developers as they aren’t “profitable” or often by affordable housing sector due to financing constraints. www.fox13seattle.com/news/seattle...
