Each week seems to bring a new warning about a looming, unprecedented surge in electricity demand in the Northwest, with data centers largely to blame. Tech companies, with their seemingly insatiable appetite for power, appear to be blowing the region off its climate course. Meanwhile, stories from other parts of the country offer cautionary tales - like in Tennessee, where Elon Musk's A.I. data center, powered by unregulated gas turbines, is now...2025-05-1502 minSightline Institute ResearchWashington Housing Bills to Watch in 2025More than two dozen bills aim to unlock great neighborhoods, greater affordability, and less red tape for Washingtonians.
Washingtonians from Spokane to Sequim, Washougal to Wenatchee, are struggling to afford homes and rents in their communities due to a deep housing shortage. While recent years' laudable legislative actions have begun to relegalize more homes, in all shapes and sizes, it will take years of dedicated effort to make up for decades of stunted homebuilding in cities and towns. It will also take a series of smart policy upgrades to correct for all the restrictions that have outlawed anything but...2025-02-1717 minSightline Institute ResearchEnding Subsidies for New Gas Hook-Ups Can Save Cascadians MillionsLine extension allowances are on their way out, and regulators can finish the job.
Line extension allowances - the term of art for the utility customer-funded subsidies for new gas pipes - are finally, slowly on their way out of Cascadia. This is thanks to regulators who recognize the contradiction of, on the one hand, utility customers subsidizing the proliferation of carbon-intensive gas infrastructure and use, and on the other, utilities' obligations to reduce their carbon emissions over time - to say nothing of the general need to protect customers from the high costs of future stranded assets and...2025-02-1714 minSightline Institute ResearchWashington's Bills to Safeguard and Upgrade Democracy in 2025State leaders are considering measures to allow ranked choice voting and turnout-boosting even-year elections, protect voting rights, increase language resources for elections, and more.
Washington State leaders are pursuing democracy and elections upgrades that would improve representation across the broad array of Washington communities, boost voter turnout for races large and small, streamline administrative processes for running elections, and offer more diverse candidate choices to advance the priorities of everyday Washingtonians.
The legislature has considered many of these issues in previous years, including Sightline's priorities of ranked choice voting and moving to even-year elections. This year, they might...2025-02-1705 minSightline Institute ResearchThe 4 Big Reasons Why States Should Ditch Parking MandatesParking reform unlocks more homes and great neighborhoods, while cutting red tape and excess asphalt, sprawl, and pollution.
Cities, towns, and jurisdictions around the world are adopting a powerful reform that accelerates homebuilding, eliminates red tape for small businesses, reduces pollution and sprawl, revitalizes downtowns, and streamlines permitting - at zero cost to the taxpayer.
That reform? Eliminating parking mandates - local governments' arcane and unfounded requirements that every new home or business come with an arbitrary, pre-determined number of parking spaces. These requirements hamstring local builders and business owners, drive up rents and home costs, and write...2025-02-1721 minSightline Institute ResearchThe Next Big Thing in Low-Cost HousingMeet MDUs, a low-cost, fast-build, flexible solution for more homes now.
Communities across Cascadia face a dire shortage of homes that is driving up prices and rents for everyone. From seniors wanting to downsize and age in place, to young people starting out and seeking apartments near their jobs, to families needing more space and nearby schools for their kids, people across the region need more homes, in all shapes and sizes, to suit their various stages of life, price points, and preferences.
Leaders in Washington state have listened to their constituents and answered by passing numerous bills...2025-02-1707 minSightline Institute ResearchWorried about Infrastructure Costs? Then End the Apartment BanAllowing more homes, in all shapes and sizes, makes it easier and cheaper for communities to tackle infrastructure challenges.
Editor's note: Sightline Institute is co-publishing this article with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. View its version here.
The costs of public infrastructure are becoming the go-to excuse for restrictive zoning policies in British Columbia. These policies effectively ban apartments on most residential land and reserve it exclusively for low-density housing like detached houses.
As one newspaper headline put it, "Density is coming to BC municipalities. Leaders don't know how they'll pay for it." On its surface...2025-02-1711 minSightline Institute ResearchCan You Guess the AI-Generated Parking Mandate?AI doesn't know how many parking spaces a coffee shop in Tumwater will need in 2040. Nobody else does, either.
Artificial intelligence is coming to write your city's zoning codes.
Or is it? Most people assume their town's zoning rules are carefully tailored by educated planners to meet today's best practices while also ensuring future buildings integrate well with the existing community. Unfortunately, that's not really how it works in practice. The fact is that inside government offices around Cascadia, city staff are stuck enforcing rules they inherited from decades past, often having lost any explanation for the original...2025-02-0702 minSightline Institute ResearchParking Reform Alone Can Boost Homebuilding by 40 to 70 PercentMore evidence that parking flexibility is key to housing abundance.
Making parking fully flexible could unlock more new homes than other land use reforms combined, according to new research out of Colorado that modeled how multiple policies would impact economic feasibility for new housing projects.
The findings add to a growing body of evidence that making off-street parking optional is a small policy change that can lead to an abundance of new homes. Even though all the buildings modeled in the analysis voluntarily included parking, allowing homebuilders to create less parking made the biggest difference. In fact, building...2025-02-0705 minSightline Institute ResearchThe History of Washington's Wandering Election DayDespite intending to choose a voting day that's best for voters, timing could still be easier - and legislators can fix that.
For the past 50 years, Washington has held municipal elections in November of odd-numbered years, separate from other federal, state, and county elections. Most voters are too young to remember when the state's municipal elections happened on different dates, but the timing of elections has never been set in stone. Now, given the changes to voting that the state has enacted since the last date change - namely, mail-in voting - it may be time for another update...2025-02-0709 minSightline Institute ResearchA Magic Boost for Low-Turnout City ElectionsSeattle's 2024 special city council election showed just how easily local voter participation could skyrocket.
First-time candidate for Seattle City Council Alexis Mercedes Rinck just got more votes in her 2024 race than the city's mayor, Bruce Harrell, when he won in 2021. In fact, she got more votes than any elected official in all elections that Seattle city government has ever recorded.
But it's not because she's particularly popular. (Plenty of other candidates have achieved a similar margin of victory.) It's just that she ran for office in an even-numbered year. Even the candidate Rinck defeated, Tanya Woo, got more...2025-02-0703 minSightline Institute ResearchReintroducing: Your Local Library, a Critical Tool for DemocracyA Q&A with author and advocate Shamichael Hallman on how public libraries can help us rebuild civic trust and connection - if we redefine our relationship with them.

Yet another US oil refinery will soon shut its doors. Phillips 66 announced in October 2024 that it will close its Los Angeles refinery by the end of 2025, due to factors that include declining oil demand and slim refining margins. An estimated 900 people are likely to lose their jobs when the refinery shutters.

Children can't drive cars. Yet across Cascadia, onerous rules defining how much parking new daycares must provide on-site are blocking those wee non-drivers - and their families - from the care they need. Even as the majority of families live in childcare deserts, jurisdictions that enforce mandatory parking minimums make it difficult or impossible to permit new daycares if the sites are unable to meet that arbitrary asphalt standard, worsening the shortage.

The claim comes again and again like clockwork: That allowing homes to exist can be hazardous to a politician's career.
Even at the annual picnic of her own neighborhood association, surrounded by pasta salad and barbeque, Jessica Bateman couldn't escape the threat.

Why?And how leaders can still help families and businesses electrify for safer, cleaner buildings in line with the state's climate values.
Washingtonians narrowly approved Initiative 2066, the ballot measure that will hinder the state's efforts to reduce climate pollution from buildings. It is the only one of the four state ballot measures backed by conservative group Let's Go Washington that voters passed. I-2066 squeaked by with a 3-point margin, according to the latest vote tally, with 90 percent of ballots counted. That's compared to the whopping 24-point margin by which voters rejected I-2117, which would have repealed the state's cap-and-invest law...2024-11-2717 minSightline Institute ResearchFour Ways Gov.-elect Ferguson and Washington Lawmakers Can Build on the State's Big Climate WinAfter Washingtonians overwhelmingly voted to keep the Climate Commitment Act, their leaders have powerful opportunities ahead.
Voters in Washington state delivered a resounding endorsement of climate action on Tuesday. They overwhelmingly rejected Initiative 2117, which would have repealed the state's cap-and-invest law, the Climate Commitment Act. In fact, as of the latest ballot count, with 80 percent of votes counted, Washingtonians opted to keep the Climate Commitment Act by a bigger margin than the one by which the dependably blue state voted for Vice President Kamala Harris. A signal of widespread support to prioritize climate action - and not go backward...2024-11-2620 minSightline Institute ResearchMontana: So Close to Better ElectionsPrimaries featuring more choice for voters and candidates almost became the law in Big Sky Country.
Nearly half of Montana voters elected to open Montana's primary elections to all candidates and all voters. They almost made Montana the second state, after Alaska, to adopt this reform that gives voters more freedom to choose. Surprisingly, many of the same voters split their ballots on a companion election reform proposals for majority winners. Thus, Montanans pushed one proposal tantalizingly close to victory while rejecting the other by a wide margin.
The first proposal, Constitutional Initiative 126, would have implemented unified primary...2024-11-2606 minSightline Institute ResearchAlmost One in Three Idahoans Wanted Open Primaries and Instant Runoff ElectionsIn the reddest patch of Cascadia, a sizable minority of voters wished for a system to thwart spoilers, promote cooperation, and allow participation beyond partisan labels.
In Idaho, about 30 percent of voters saw room for improvement in the state's pick-one, closed primary voting system. But a majority chose to stick with the status quo, rejecting Proposition 1, the open-primary, instant-runoff measure on the November ballot. The proposed statute had an uphill climb despite support from many prominent Republicans; others, including Speaker of the House Mike Moyle and Idaho Republican Party Chair Dorothy Moon, came out against the measure.

Current vote totals show that a large majority of Oregon voters chose not to approve Measure 117, which would have established ranked choice voting for statewide and federal offices (similar to the model currently in place in Maine). The result means that future Oregon elections will continue to suffer from spoiler candidates and the potential for wasted votes. While administrators have not yet counted all votes, early results show a decisive margin of defeat: 60 percent...2024-11-2602 minSightline Institute ResearchPortland Voters Are Shifting into a Higher GearMore choices mean more legwork but should lead to a more effective and representative government.

Many Portlanders are still learning how this new voting method works. The first time voting this way will take some adjustment, and residents might feel like they're participating in a grand experiment.

Janice McGeachin's four years as Idaho's lieutenant governor were fraught with controversy. In what Governor Brad Little called an "abuse of power," McGeachin on two occasions issued wide-ranging executive orders while the governor was temporarily out of state. She also spoke at a conference hosted by a white nationalist who called for "total Aryan victory." And when McGeachin violated the Idaho Public Records Act, a judge quipped that she "would stop at nothing, no matter how misguided, to shield public records from the public."

On Labor Day weekend, Sound Transit opened four more stops of its light rail line north of Seattle. But when I took my inaugural ride, I had my eye on something equally important as the shiny new transit line to the future of the region's cities: new apartment buildings sprouting up near the stations.
And not just any apartment buildings, but four of them built through a rare new policy that may be a key to digging out of the statewide housing shortage...2024-11-0526 minSightline Institute ResearchWhat's Different in Alaska Since Election Laws ChangedHow Alaskans have responded to nonpartisan open primaries and ranked choice voting.
In 2020 Alaska led the country on election reform by adopting a combination of nonpartisan open primaries and ranked choice general elections, jettisoning its previous system of semi-closed primaries and plurality general elections.
Four years later, Alaska has more company.
Voters in multiple states, both red and blue, will decide in November whether to emulate Alaska's system (or adopt variations) for their own elections. Montana voters are considering open primaries and mandating majority-winner elections. South Dakota voters will decide whether to open their primaries. Oregon voters...2024-11-0516 minSightline Institute ResearchThe Contradiction of a Split Vote on Washington's Anti-Climate Ballot InitiativesInitiatives 2066 and 2117 are closely linked, but polls and endorsements diverge.
Two of the four measures on Washington state's ballots this fall, Initiatives 2066 and 2117, take aim at the state's climate policies. I-2117, the better known of the two, would repeal the state's cap-and-invest law, the Climate Commitment Act. I-2066 would restrict Washington's ability to decarbonize buildings, the state's second highest emitting sector.
Yet support for the two initiatives diverges. Roughly 44 percent of respondents indicated they would approve I-2066 compared to just 30 percent who said they would approve I-2117, according to an October Seattle Times poll. Roughly a quarter of...2024-11-0508 minSightline Institute ResearchMontana's Plurality ProblemPolitical gamesmanship and the spoiler effect prevent majority winners in some of the Treasure State's most impactful elections.
As in most elections, Montanans have a lot of important priorities to consider this November. One contest in particular, though, is receiving outsized attention: control of the US Senate may hinge on the outcome of the race between incumbent Democrat Jon Tester and Republican Tim Sheehy. In this race, two other candidates are drawing the attention (and ire) of the major parties. Earlier in 2024, the Montana Democratic Party lost a lawsuit to remove Green Party candidate Robert Barb from the US...2024-11-0511 minSightline Institute ResearchDespite Candidate Dropouts, Alaska Elections Are Becoming More CompetitiveA dozen candidates removed themselves from 2024's general election, but voters still have plenty to choose from.
A spate of candidates in Alaska made headlines for dropping out of November's general election. This, after running successfully in the state's nonpartisan open primaries to qualify for the general election ballot. For instance, in August Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom quit the US House race, and State Representative Jesse Sumner left his race for reelection in House District 28. In all, 12 candidates decided not to run in the general election despite advancing from the primary.

On October 4, 2024, the Seattle Times editorial board encouraged its readers to vote yes on Washington Ballot Initiative 2066. That endorsement is riddled with misleading statements and omits critical facts about the issues at hand.
The endorsement focuses almost exclusively on critiquing House Bill 1589, a law passed by the state legislature in 2024. In doing so, the editorial board implies (incorrectly) that Initiative 2066 would repeal HB 1589 in its entirety. In fact, Initiative 2066 selectively takes aim at some of the most climate-friendly provisions of HB 1589, leaving much of the...2024-11-0519 minSightline Institute ResearchRanked Choice Voting Already Passed Its First Test in OregonBenton County and Corvallis transitioned smoothly to the revised method.

Vancouver is the epicenter of British Columbia's housing crisis and shortage. So why does the city still ban new apartment buildings on most of its residential land, reserving it exclusively for low-density housing? While there have been small steps towards reforming single-detached zoning in Vancouver in recent years, apartments are still not allowed on more than three-quarters of the city's residential land.
Much the same is true in other big, expensive cities in BC and across North America. Under this decades-old...2024-10-0911 minSightline Institute Research(Re)explaining Washington's Climate Commitment ActUnderstanding the cap-and-invest law that Washington Initiative 2117 would repeal.
In 2021 Washington enacted the Climate Commitment Act, becoming only the second US state (after California) with an economy-wide cap-and-invest program. With the passage of the Climate Commitment Act, Washington also put in place its primary enforcement mechanism for achieving the state's greenhouse gas reduction goals. The law went into effect in January 2023.
In November 2024, Initiative 2117 on Washington's ballot puts to voters the option to keep the program or repeal it.

The debut in Alaska of nonpartisan open primaries and ranked choice general elections in 2022 promised to reduce polarization in government by rewarding lawmakers who prioritize solving problems over partisan gamesmanship.

Burning gas to heat homes, generate electricity, and power industry bears responsibility for about a quarter of Washington's climate pollution. Washington State - and its cities-have enacted a suite of laws to help homes and businesses make the transition from gas to all-electric appliances such as heat pumps. Initiative Measure No. 2066 on Washington's November 2024 ballot would directly repeal some of the state's gas transition policies and could impact others.

In early 2023, I wrote about Oregon House Bill 2004, which let voters decide whether to adopt ranked choice voting in statewide elections, including those for president, US House and Senate, and governor. If adopted, it would also give cities, school districts, and other local entities in Oregon guidelines to adopt ranked choice voting in their elections.

Customers in southeast Portland recently found out that hydrogen may be sneaking its way into their homes. NW Natural, Oregon's largest gas utility, has started injecting hydrogen, blended with so-called "natural gas," into its distribution lines without informing customers or regulators.
Hydrogen is a bad bet for decarbonizing homes pretty much any way you look at it. It's far more expensive than electrification, can't achieve nearly the same climate impact, and can be dangerous, as Sightline has written about extensively. Plus, since carbon-free green hydrogen is in short supply and...2024-09-1212 minSightline Institute ResearchThe Northwest's Electric Grid Deserves an UpgradeUp to 40 percent of the region's grid could be suitable for reconductoring - for less than half the time and cost of building new transmission lines.

They're four-story apartment buildings, and they may be the most underrated building block of a healthy city or town, especially in the Pacific Northwest.
Four-story apartment buildings hit a "sweet spot" of low costs and high benefits, according to Nathan Teske, executive director of Hillsboro-based affordable housing developer Bienestar.

A supermajority of Americans wants more climate action. And yes, there's been progress, especially here in Cascadia. Yet laws in the United States are still not aligned with public sentiment on climate and many other issues.
That's because our democracy isn't functioning as it should.
One could blame individual elected leaders for their foibles. But perceiving everyone to be at fault - "fire everyone and start fresh," as one recent US survey respondent summarized - is more productively interpreted as a nudge to explore the structures that...2024-08-1910 minSightline Institute ResearchBlazing a Trail: The Vital Role of Wildfire Hazard MapsSophisticated and high-resolution maps such as Oregon's are essential tools for thriving in a fiery future.
Oregon and Washington are currently fighting 32 major wildfires, and over 9,000 people are under an evacuation notice in Oregon. It is a blistering wildfire season but one we knew to expect. And thanks to technology and wildfire hazard maps, we also know where to expect intense fires.
Hazard maps are a key piece in the wildfire crisis puzzle that we're racing against time to finish.

Buildings make up a quarter of Washington state's carbon emissions, polluting more than any other sector except transportation. To change this grim statistic and achieve state climate goals, Washington has put in place some of the strongest building decarbonization policies in the United States.
Washington has mandated that the state's electricity come from carbon-free sources by 2045. It has passed leading energy efficiency requirements for its biggest polluting institutions. It has created innovative pathways for utilities to help their customers electrify...2024-07-3118 minSightline Institute ResearchProportional representation in just three (brutally hard, agonizingly slow) steps!Is there a better way to get there in the United States?
In an old Irish joke, a lost traveler hollers to a farmer in a field for directions. The farmer ponders for a moment and then yells back, "If I was going there, I wouldn't start from here." For those of us who aim to make American democracy (and especially Congress and other legislative bodies) live up to their promise, the same droll advice seems to apply: Don't start from here.
