Over the past 50 years, the trend in city growth has been outward into the suburbs. Fueled by automobiles, suburban expansion has largely been a commuter proposition.
That tide, however, has changed. Within decades, it’s predicted that Seattle’s center city will produce 50,000 new jobs and more than 22,000 new housing units. The total regional growth target, according to the Puget Sound Regional Council, is 909,000 new residents between the years 2022 to 2025, with nearly 60 percent of that growth in cities.
