Example Policies • Modify residential zoning designations and development standards to align with city goals, and periodically assess the amount of housing produced under these standards. • Expand capacity for moderate density housing, i.e., "missing middle housing", in residential areas with low-density zoning throughout the city to increase home ownership and rental housing options. • Support the creation of co -housing, housing cooperatives, co -living buildings, and other types of housing that provide community -oriented housing alternatives for families, seniors, young singles, religious communities, or other groups with specific needs. Example Policies • Support the long-term preservation of existing naturally occurring affordable housing developments by acting as a facilitator between affordable housing groups interested in purchasing units and property owners. • Continue to develop relationships with populations that have been historically underserved and are at risk of displacement to better understand needs and risks. • Review and update development code to support production of housing types that provide relatively affordable homeownership options, such as middle housing (including townhouses) and condominiums. Discussion & Feedback • What should the City prioritize in housing decisions? • What is the most effective way for ESJ to provide input on housing and other planning issues? • How often would you like updates on housing and planning issues? • Any feedback or questions?

Areas that were newly subdivided between 1926 and 1952 were the most likely to be restricted by deed or covenant.

Indigenous Americans were banned from the city in the late 1800s. Chinese people were driven out in 1886. Those who returned were expected to live in Chinatown or work as servants in the homes of wealthy White people. This map depicts where non -whites lived in Seattle in 1940. The dark red tracts on the map indicate where the highest numbers of non -whites were. County populations Total population Non White White Foreign Born White RACIAL RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS PROJECT WASHINGTON STATE Seattle Segregation vs. Southern Segregation In most southern states, segregation of schools, buses, restaurants, and public facilities was required by law. That was not the case in Washington State. But local government agencies supported discrimination and segregation in various ways, including the certification of racial restrictive covenants and encouraging police to harrass Black folks seen in white neighborhoods. And Seattle's segregation practices extended beyond housing. Black and Asian Americans were often denied service in bars, restaurants, barber shops, even hospitals. RACIAL RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS PROJECT WASHINGTON STATE Bill and Bertha Boeing's Subdivisions Bill and Bertha Boeing developed several subdivisions in Shoreline and Northwest Seattle. All of which were restricted to Whites only.

The gap is starkest at modest income levels. Look at the difference among those earning less than $50,000. White families were almost four times more likely to be homeowners than Black families. Here we see the effects of multigenerational wealth building. At current prices new buyers with modest incomes are shut out of homeownership unless they are converting homes long held in the family or other sources of wealth.
