Why now?

Seattle's population has been steadily increasing, with the city adding approximately 18,500 new residents in 2023–2024. This surge in population underscores a growing demand for housing.

In response to this demand, Seattle has been implementing zoning changes to increase housing density, especially in residential neighborhoods and areas near transit. These changes aim to accommodate the influx of new residents and address the city's housing challenges.

Neighborhoods across the greater Seattle area offer easy access to downtown while maintaining safe, family-friendly communities. Residents enjoy a mix of local restaurants, cafés, shops, and parks, with scenic trails, waterfront areas, and recreational amenities that support active lifestyles and strong neighborhood character.
