Futurewise 2023 Legislative Agenda: For Our Future
In 2023, Futurewise is organizing with people like you For Our Future. We're putting forward a set of bills that will transform the future of all Washingtonians. We're focusing not just on the issues that impact our communities now and for years to come, starting with housing affordability and climate resiliency.
No matter where we’re from or what we look like, everyone deserves to live in an affordable home in neighborhoods built for people and communities.
Everything you need—fresh groceries, the doctor’s office, your favorite restaurant, parks and libraries—should be available within an easy commute of your home.
In this future, every street starts with pedestrian safety. There are plentiful bike and bus lanes on streets are lined with trees providing necessary shelter for the biodiversity found in Washington. Music is playing out of open windows, neighbors know one another, look out for each other, and celebrate each other’s rich and diverse cultures.
At Futurewise, we are building towards this future by championing
the following legislation:
- Mitigating the effects of climate change through the
Growth Management Act (HB 1181 & SB 5203) - Increasing housing options with Missing Middle Housing (HB 1110
& SB 5190) - Connecting people and communities with Transit- Oriented Development (SB 5466 & HB 1517)
