Priced out: the struggle for an affordable Seattle
Tues. March 31, 2015 6:30–8 p.m.

Rising real estate prices in King County and surrounding regions impact the quality of life for all residents. Area housing costs have become prohibitive for many. Existing Seattle city policy does not include rent control. And for would-be homeowners, the inventory of local properties for sale has diminished while listings close in record times.
The University of Washington is proud to co-sponsor the latest LiveWire series, Priced Out: The Struggle for an Affordable Seattle. UW provost Ana Mari Cauce will give the opening remarks before Seattle Times business reporter Sanjay Bhatt moderates a timely conversation about housing affordability. Join professionals from Zillow, Red Fin, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and Spectrum Development Solutions for this important discussion.
The Seattle Times LiveWire events feature meaningful discussions about vital issues impacting our region. Each event brings together local and national experts for provocative conversations on a key topic moderated by a Seattle Times journalist.
