The health of the
Methow Valley
depends on
our approach to Housing
-
Home Ownership
Median home prices in the Methow Valley have doubled since 2018, from $320k to $640k. To afford the median home one would need to make 3x area median income.
We believed everyone should have a path to home ownership and the stability it offers.
-
Long Term Rentals
Rental vacancies are < 1%. We need more rentals for full time residents: for teachers, biologists, grocers, hospitality professionals, non-profit workers, small business owners, and everything in between.
. -
Seasonal
Due to the seasonal nature of the Methow’s economy, many businesses are understaffed during busy times due to a lack of available housing.
