The Runstad Center has been in the news lately, having released new statistics about record-setting median home prices in Seattle, as well as increased housing vacancy rates in the Tri-Cities. Glenn Crellin talked with KOMO News and the Tri-City Herald about the Center’s findings.
Additionally, Runstad Center Affiliate Fellow and faculty member AP Hurd has an article in CityLab about how outdated parking laws price families out of the city.
On a smaller community scale, M.Arch/MSRE ’13 alum Michael Kaiser is leading an effort to bring a “parklet” to life in the Uptown neighborhood of Seattle. A parklet transforms a small portion of the right of way into a pocket of public park space. They’re almost halfway to their fundraising goal… contributions large or small can be made by following the link here.
