We recently did a deep dive into housing targets in King County recently, which are hugely important in driving land use and zoning decisions in municipalities.

Without those targets, cities and towns might choose not to allow growth through zoning and development regulation changes.
What we found out today though is that King County doesn’t publish annual growth monitoring reports anymore in any public form. That makes it hard to keep cities accountable in between major check-in periods.
This really should change for transparency and accountability. People and their housing is counting on that.
The full suite of county demographics available are here: kingcounty.gov/depts/executiv… We should also note that the Office of Financial Management housing estimates aren’t good enough as a stand-in for a full annual growth monitoring report.
