Where are all those electeds, including the "housing champions" that stood in the way of social housing for years, now? Imagine how Seattle could have had this sooner if not for them. This is a huge win for engaged residents & a blow to the egos of plenty of electeds.
The news is in — not only have Seattleites voted for social housing twice, but thousands applied to our first housing lottery. The support and need for social housing in Seattle is clear. We are in the process of notifying applicants of their status. www.seattletimes.com/business/rea...

Seattle’s first social housing building has just 150 apartments. The number of applicants to move in is a sign of the city’s need for affordable housing.
