Will Tacoma tenants win big with ‘Safe Homes for All?' Early polling results out

Tacoma’s controversial “Safe Homes for All” measure is ahead by a hefty margin Tuesday night, according to early polling results. Initiative Measure No. 1 had about 59.48% of voters in favor and 40.52% of voters opposed as of 8:20 p.m., a difference of 10,199 votes. “Safe Homes for All” initiative amends the city of Tacoma’s rental-housing code and business-license code to give renters additional rights and allow the city to enforce the “Tenant Bill of Rights” measure that passed by citizen vote in 2023. The initiative proposes to fund city enforcement through per-unit license fees and fines paid by landlords, “improve compliance with tenant safety and protection laws” by increasing penalties for landlords who violate them, remove exemptions for large for-profit landlords who are repeat offenders and educate landlords and tenants on the law and tenants’ rights to form tenant unions, as previously reported by The News Tribune . The proposal generated fierce debate and investment from a multi-billion-dollar Seattle real estate firm . Opponents of Measure 1 included the Rental Housing Association of WA, whose spokesperson argued the initiative would force local landlords to sell to private equity firms, driving up rental costs and hindering new development, as previously

Development proposal near Enetai moves ahead, despite neighbor concerns

A 180-lot subdivision planned for a forested area in East Bremerton is progressing, despite continued concerns from neighbors. Spanning 36.7 acres just south of Illahee State Park and between Enetai Beach Road and Rozewood Drive, "The Outlook at Enetai" -- formerly known as the Fisher Plat -- is a proposed development by Bainbridge Island residents John Fisher and Shawna Epp, according to Kitsap County documents. Home to deer, old growth trees and the occasional bear, the area of Enetai, which slopes down toward the Port Orchard Narrows waterway on the east side of Kitsap, is designated as part of the Bremerton Urban Growth Area. That means the property is intended for future residential expansion to keep growth in more urban areas, though the property lies outside city limits. Despite this status, nearby residents have strongly resisted development, rejecting a proposed annexation into the city of Bremerton in 2022, which was requested by the developers who purchased the Enetai property in 2018 for $2.4 million, according to the Kitsap County Assessor’s Office. In 2023 the developers' request for the extension of city sewer without annexation of the area was approved by the City Council . And now, after three years, the
