SB5587 addresses affordable housing development in Washington counties with unmet housing needs.
SB5587 amends Washington law to prioritize affordable housing development in counties not meeting housing needs.

The bill also requires developers to include legally binding restrictions to ensure affordability for at least 25 years.
