King County’s homelessness authority is now under formal review, with dissolution on the table, after a forensic evaluation found serious problems managing more than half a billion dollars.
That is half the story.
The other half: years of rental housing regulation passed under the same homelessness-prevention logic.
One half is being judged against its results.
The other is not on any agenda for review.

New regulations hit every session. Compliance keeps getting harder. The rental housing providers who show up prepared are the ones who stay ahead.

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.
