If you want to get a voice in how things are shaped for the Puget Sound region over the next 30 or so years, or you just want to see what kinds of data are being collected and the projected outcomes for our region, stop by this website: http://psrc.org/
It’s expected that roughly 50,000 more people per year will migrate to this part of the country for a total of roughly 1.7 Million additional people by 2040 and approximately 1.2 Million additional jobs. These kinds of stats are what continues to drive the housing market in a positive direction for Seattle and surrounding areas. I say “positive” only from the standpoint of us not having a big crash in our local market in opposition to areas of the country that have fallen drastically due to job losses, over-building, investor hype, etc.
Comments on the plans are open till September 7th. If you’d rather get heard at a public forum instead of online you can also check out upcoming events in Bellevue and Tacoma.
