Fourth and Roy: The shape of townhouses to come?

By KATIE ZEMTSEFF, Daily Journal of Commerce Staff Reporter

TG Development has completed an eight-unit townhouse called Fourth and Roy on Lower Queen Anne and says it shows Seattle's “next generation” of townhomes, part of a revision of the city's low-rise code.

Brandon Nicholson, principal at NK Architects, has been involved in the Department of Planning and Development's revision of the code for more than five years. The city has already adopted changes to the code for high-rise and mid-rise buildings.

Lake Stevens wants plan for downtown

By JON SILVER, Daily Journal of Commerce Staff Reporter

The city of Lake Stevens in Snohomish County has been growing quickly. In the past 10 years, the population has more than quadrupled, from 6,400 to nearly 26,000 after a series of annexations, and is expected to grow to more than 40,000 by 2025. Now, the city encircles much of the 1,040-acre lake after which it was named.

The city wants its suburban-style downtown, situated on the northwest corner of the lake, to keep up with the growth. So it's seeking consultants to devise a land-use and zoning plan for the 240-acre area, which is centered around 20th Street Northeast, Main Street and Hartford Drive Northeast.
