State Legislature Bills

This bill would speed up permits for workforce and middle-income housing, especially near high-capacity transit, while allowing cities to convert some underused commercial and office land into housing more easily. It also offers state planning and infrastructure grants to local governments that expand housing capacity and reduce delays.

This bill aims to speed up housing construction in Washington by setting clearer permitting timelines, cutting duplicative reviews, and prioritizing projects that already fit local zoning. It also offers tax, grant, and infrastructure support for middle-income and workforce housing near transit and job centers, with public reporting on results.
