New construction is everywhere in Seattle! From giant office complexes and new hotels to single family residences and multifamily condominiums construction cranes can be seen from just about any street corner.
So far this year, 700 residences have been built around the city. There are 8,600 more residential units scheduled to be built through 2017 and 20,000 more currently being considered for future development.
Here is the crazy part - these construction numbers still don't solve our housing availability problem let alone the affordability aspect of it.
