Build Here, Puget Sound! The Game: King County

Learn how to use the Build Here, Puget Sound! Housing Tool, featuring a live demo, a catered lunch, and a hands-on tabletop exercise!
About this Event

is the Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC) new housing platform designed to provide equitable access to localized housing data and support faster, better-informed decisions across the development community.

Bringing together regional zoning data, a developable land inventory, feasibility analysis, and parcel-level housing projections, the tool empowers practitioners across King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties to identify sites, inform policy, and streamline development.

What to Expect:

Whether you are evaluating sites for affordable housing, preparing legislative testimony, or conducting market research, this workshop will help you:

• Learn about the Tool: Learn directly from the tool’s creators how to navigate soft-site filters, zoning overlays, and localized feasibility data.
• Test Real-World Scenarios: Walk through a collaborative tabletop game using real regional data to practice utilizing the tool in housing development.
• Cross-Sector Networking: Build direct working relationships with regional peers, elected officials, local planners, housing staff, and developers.
