City staff propose rewrites to bond financial policies to focus on credit goals and bond delivery City financial staff proposed replacing fixed debt ratios with a goal to maintain a AAA credit rating, clarifying bond-election timing to require prior programs reach substantial completion (about 90% expended), and adding guidance to size propositions for a predictable six‑year delivery cycle; council members pressed for more implementation details and data.

The city is reshaping its bond financial policies to prioritize a AAA credit rating and enhance program delivery—changes that could redefine how future elections are approached.

Developers, Snoqualmie Lawyers Argue in Appeal Over Whether Condo Declaration Can Create Zoning Violation At oral argument, Ladder Properties asked the court to reverse a hearing examiner’s finding that condominiumization of a single lot with a primary residence and ADU violated Snoqualmie code, saying state law forbids treating ownership form as a land‑use change; the city said it regulates use and cited utility‑responsibility concerns.

A court case is unraveling the complex debate over whether changing ownership to condominiums transforms lawful residential configurations into zoning violations in Snoqualmie.

After the Housing Letter, the Vote Why a Rediscovered 1988 Housing Letter Was Only the Beginning

A few years after I wrote a 1988 housing letter, I was chairing a zoning commission and facing Residents Against Condominiums. I learned something for today’s housing debates : it is one thing to diagnose exclusion, and another to govern through it.

USDA’s Section 515 Program for Rural Affordable Housing Faces Phase-Out The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Section 515 program, established in 1963, has been a cornerstone of affordable rental housing in rural America, helping to finance over 533,000 apartments and townhouses for low-income residents. By offering below-market loans to private and nonprofit developers, Section 515 ensured rents remained around 30% of tenants’ income, often as low as $325 per month compared to $800-$1,100 in typical rural markets. However, no new loans have been issued since 2011, and the program is now gradually phasing out as existing loans mature, with nearly all properties expected to exit the program by 2050. Research indicates that nonprofit ownership and larger management organizations significantly increase the likelihood of properties remaining affordable, while for-profit owners and small management operations are more likely to convert units to market-rate housing. Other subsidies, such as Section 8 vouchers and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, also help preserve affordability. Despite USDA preservation initiatives and proposed legislation like the Rural Housing Service Reform Act, significant challenges remain, including an estimated $5.6 billion in repairs needed to maintain current affordable units. Without renewed federal intervention, rural communities could see a substantial decline in affordable housing as owners gain flexibility to raise rents or sell properties.
