Innovative Housing
In the fall of 2001, the Growth Management Policy Board conducted a tour of innovative housing in the central Puget Sound region. The purpose of the tour was to see examples of and hear from experts on innovative housing design and successful financing mechanisms. The itinerary included eight sites: Seattle Downtown, Ravenna Cottages, International District, Seattle Cohousing, Judkins Park Neighborhood, NewHolly Park, Renton's Metropolitan Place, and Snoqualmie Ridge.

After the tour, Regional Council staff expanded on the information covered on the housing tour by taking a more comprehensive look at innovative housing in the central Puget Sound region.
