High-density housing isn't coming to Mukilteo
MUKILTEO — While a recent assessment of the city’s housing needs shows a severe shortage, Mukilteo has no plans to allow high-density housing.
“In the end, it came down to a long conversation and then three very reasonable strategies that we will implement over the coming years,” said Mukilteo Mayor Jennifer Gregerson.
The housing action plan directs city staff to begin working on three goals — updating the city’s comprehensive plan, expanding senior housing options and providing information to the community on existing programs that can help them stay in their homes. The city’s housing action plan, approved by the City Council in June, is a set of recommendations for how the city can increase its available housing. Essentially, it’s the city’s work plan. Its purpose is to outline the city’s housing needs and provide potential strategies for addressing those needs.
