SUBJECT: Tour of Recent Middle Housing Developments
ISSUE
Tukwila will soon begin the process of updating the municipal code to integrate new middle housing
and design regulation to comply with HB 1110 and HB 1293 respectively.
BACKGROUND
In the Spring of 2023, the State Legislature passed HB 1110, which was intended to increase middle
housing in areas traditionally dedicated to single-family detached housing, and HB 1293, which was
intended to streamline development regulations.
HB 1110 requires expansion of allowances for middle housing types, and associated considerations for
regulations, parking, affordable units and proximity to transit. The nine middle housing types
addressed in the bill are:
• Duplexes;
• Stacked Flats;
• Triplexes;
• Fourplexes;
• Fiveplexes;
• Sixplexes;
• Townhomes;
• Cottage Homes; and
• Courtyard Apartments
HB 1293 requires cities to adopt "clear and objective" design criteria in the interest of ensuring
predictable expectations for architects and developers when designing residential or commercial
projects. Current City Standards do not comply with the clear and objective criteria and will be
modified for middle housing, as well as all other development where design review is required as part
of the overall project scope.
