Washington State 2025 Legislative Session
The 2025 Legislative session has officially wrapped up! We’re proud to celebrate some meaningful victories, and even the bittersweet moments have brought valuable progress. While not every outcome went our way, each challenge presents a new opportunity—and we’re already looking ahead with determination and optimism for next year!
Victories
- We join a WA Low Income Housing Alliance passing HB 1217 Rent Stabilization. Not the best version, but after 3 years we finally have some protections for tenants in WA State.
- We join Futurewise and others passing Transit Oriented Development with HB 1491.
- Ensure equitable home ownership opportunities passing HB 1696 Covenant Homeownership Act Trailer Bill
- We join the King County Equitable Development Coalition passing of SB 5138 to allow short term lodging revenue to be used for equitable development support in King County.
- We support the use of paid sick leave to prepare for – or participate in – certain immigration proceedings, passing HB 1875
- We stopped HB 1464. This bill would have legalized predatory mortgage products that have been shown to steal people’s home equity.
Not to good:
- No one of Voting Justice bills: passed this year, but we will be back with the WA Voting Justice Coalition next year
- We joined the WA Coalition for Police Accountability and the ACLU in SUPPORT for HB 1512 Traffic Safety For All. UPDATE: This bill is not progressing. We’ll join partners in trying again in 2026.
