One of the bills requires cities to allow more density in what are now single-family neighborhoods.
“We’re going to legalize accessory dwelling units, middle housing and condos so that people have choices for different types of affordable housing at their price point,” said Rep. Jessica Bateman .Cities with more than 75,000 people must allow fourplexes everywhere.
Sixplexes are allowed if the property is within a quarter mile of a major transit stop or if two units are affordable.Fourplexes are allowed if the property is within a quarter mile of a major transit stop or if one unit is affordable.Hayley Tsermengas of Kent is concerned about more density bringing more traffic.“The traffic would increase with more people per address, but we all need somewhere to live,” said Chris Meyers, who also lives in Kent.
The middle housing bill passed with bipartisan support, and Inslee said at the signing it would help families who want to build an accessory dwelling unit for a relative. Earlier in the session, some city officials voiced concern about the capacity of water and sewer systems.
