SB 6200 is effective today.

Washington renters now have a statewide right to use certain portable cooling devices, including portable ACs and portable heat pumps.

As local cooling discussions continue, housing providers should review the new state framework and update policies accordingly.

Steve Corker is right.

Spokane’s proposed cooling ordinance may be well-intentioned, but unclear and immediate mandates could displace the very affordable rental housing our city cannot afford to lose.

Safe housing policy must be clear, workable, and realistic.

Spokane's eviction diversion ordinance is in effect and the City's required notice is live.

Rental property owners must provide it at lease signing, renewals, rent increases, mutual terminations, and pay-or-vacate notices, or it becomes a tenant's defense.

If you own or manage rental home in Spokane, this affects you directly.

The City Council just passed a mandatory eviction diversion ordinance that changes how — and when — you can proceed with nonpayment cases. Fail to follow the new notice requirements, and tenants can use your non-compliance as a legal defense.

RHAWA breaks down what's required, what's exempt, and what to do before June 1.

Pro-housing means more housing.

Policies that reduce supply, increase risk, or push small housing providers out of the market are not YIMBY — or pro-tenant.

If it reduces supply, it reduces affordability.

That is not pro-housing.

One year ago today, HB 1217 took effect.

We raised this question before the bill was signed: if rent stabilization is so essential, why are subsidized housing providers exempt from it?

A year in, it's worth revisiting. Full 2025 permits data drops soon.
