Thank you to everyone who came out to our Happy Hour on Wednesday! ❤️ Extra special thanks to @transpochoices.bsky.social & @hoponboardseattle.bsky.social for joining us to chat about the Seattle Transit Measure & why access to transit is SO important for our communities.

Futurewise @futurewise.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Why this matters: 📌 This is the first real test of HB 1181, a new WA law that requires cities & counties to plan for climate change. 📌 This outcome sets a standard for what that climate planning must look like: measurable policies and actions that are built to work, not just sound right.

140

Futurewise @futurewise.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

On Aug. 17, the Growth Management Hearings Board made their decision – and agreed with us on 2 out of 3 arguments! They found that the County’s plan fell short of adequately addressing current climate threats with measurable policies, specific actions, or development rules – and doing so equitably.

Photo of Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge with text on top" The Hearings Board ruled that Thurston County's comprehensive plan update lacked the measurable policies needed to reach the County's own greenhouse gas emissions target. Thurston had access to a tailored set of measures, funded and developed by the Department of Commerce specifically to help the county meet this requirement, and adopted neither those measures nor an independently justified alternative."

Photo of the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge with text on top: "The Hearings Board ruled that Thurston County's comprehensive plan updated responded to serious, documented climate-driven hazards with commitments to 'study,' 'encourage,' and 'seek,' rather than specific actions and regulations that actually address them. Thurston County failed to provide clear, actionable goals and policies to improve climate change resiliency. It also failed to collaborate with communities that are most impacted by climate change, or prioritize actions that would benefit them."

BIG NEWS‼️ Futurewise won our Thurston County case! ICYMI: This summer, Futurewise challenged Thurston County’s newly adopted climate plan on three grounds. We argued that it didn’t meet the requirements of Washington’s new climate planning law (HB 1181): futurewise.org/one-of-the-f...

(4/5) Unlike townhomes, which have a stairwell in each unit, stacked flats have a single central stair. This means less stairs to get around your home, in addition to the ground-floor accessible units. 👩‍🦽👨‍🦯

Futurewise @futurewise.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

(3/5) Stacked flats allow larger units that can be a better fit for families and larger households 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦🩷

Futurewise @futurewise.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

(2/5) Stacked flats have a smaller footprint that allows for more and larger trees on the lot 🌳🌲💚

ICYMI - We’ve filed a legal appeal to challenge Kitsap County’s comprehensive plan. Why and what does it mean? State law requires cities and counties to better plan for land use and population growth. We believe that Kitsap County's 2024 comp plan falls short of those requirements. 🧵

What’s your favorite way to get around town? 🚎🚌 We made Jazmine from our team pick just one: “My favorite transit, if I absolutely must pick a favorite, is the classic last mile solution that is the monorail: connecting my front door to the downtown core and the city center to the Seattle Center!”
