Join us at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue for a special presentation of:

Missing Middle Housing is Missing

Do you wonder why teachers are driving an hour or more each way to get to work? Or why we don’t have more types of housing that fit all budgets in Washington State? Or what makes housing so expensive?

Join us for informative and passionate discussions from industry experts in home building, design, real estate, business, municipal government and nonprofits to hear their differing perspectives on the lack of missing middle housing in Washington State.

Special guest speaker: Mitali Ganguly

Mitali Ganguly an Associate with Opticos Design, is a design innovator regarded for her work in small-scale Transit-Oriented Development, affordable housing, and urban revitalization.

Panels will cover the following topics.
