VISION 2050
July 19, 2019 By 2050, the central Puget Sound region is expected to add another 1.8 million people, reaching a population of 5.8 million. Accommodating this growth will be challenging. To be successful, we need to work together to ensure the region thrives for the long term. VISION 2050 is the regional plan for guiding how and where growth will occur and enhancing quality of life, a healthy environment, and a strong economy.
We need your feedback to see if this draft plan is on the right track.
VISION 2050 has an important role under Washington state’s Growth Management Act, which requires the most populous counties in the state to plan for growth. The four counties that comprise the central Puget Sound region–King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap–are required to collaborate to create multicounty planning policies that guide county and local plans. VISION 2050 is an update to VISION 2040, the regional plan adopted in 2008. Over the last two years, the Puget Sound Regional Council worked closely with local governments, businesses, organizations, and individuals to renew the region’s vision for a sustainable, healthy, and prosperous region. We reached out to communities early in the process, through listening sessions and public opinion surveys, and heard that housing affordability and cost of living are top of mind for many, along with transportation challenges, and a desire to see the region working together. We conducted research and analyzed data on different growth alternatives. In compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act, the environmental impacts of different growth alternatives were assessed. We heard support for focusing growth near transit, which results in better transportation and environmental effects than the other alternatives. We valued hearing from you during the plan drafting process. The region’s cities, counties, tribes, agencies, and others have come together to address the region’s most urgent issues through this VISION 2050 planning process.
This draft VISION 2050 plan is a guidepost for how the region will work together to tackle these challenges and make the region an even better place to live in the years to come.
Your input on this draft plan is essential to ensuring a bright future for the region. We look forward to hearing from you! Councilmember Ryan Mello Councilmember Hank Margeson Chair, Growth Management Policy Board Vice-chair, Growth Management Policy Board
