“We have to put density in our city because of the light rail station. Around the station, along the freeway that the rail line will hug – we have to make it all multifamily,” said Kyoko Matsumoto Wright, a REALTOR with Coldwell Banker Bain and mayor of Mountlake Terrace, reminding that density does not equal skyscraper height.


“I’d love to allow all single family to allow duplexes and ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) at least.

They vote. 


The younger, newer people who support a diverse housing inventory, they don’t (vote).”
