Executive Summary
Overview
In many Washington communities, the rising cost of land and construction negatively affects the ability of
affordable housing providers to develop housing for people with low incomes. This is especially true in high-
cost areas like the Puget Sound region.
Since 1993, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) has worked with designated agencies to provide an
annual inventory of real property that is state-owned and available for lease. Starting in 2018, the designated
agencies include the Washington State Patrol (WSP), the State Parks and Recreation Commission (PARKS),
and the Departments of Natural Resources (DNR),

and Enterprise Services (DES). The purpose of this

2020 ANNUAL REPORT INVENTORY OF STATE-OWNED REAL PROPERTIES AND 2
RECOMMENDATIONS PER RCW 43.63A.510
RCW 43.63A.510 requires designated state agencies to report by Nov. 1 and Commerce to submit its analysis
to the Legislature by Dec. 1. Therefore, this preliminary determination of suitability for development is based
on a swift analysis of state agency reports in which properties that were clearly unsuitable for affordable
housing development were eliminated.
Conclusions
The State Surplus Property Program inventory list consolidated 43 properties in 2020:
Eleven properties (26%) of the surplus property inventory are suitable for affordable housing
development.
Thirty-two properties (74%) of the surplus property inventory are unsuitable for affordable housing
development.
Ten suitable properties are located in western Washington and one suitable property is located in
eastern Washington.
No properties from the 2019 State Surplus Property Program Report were transferred, leased, or
disposed for affordable housing development under the authority of RCW 39.33.015.
Despite the ongoing shortage of affordable housing, no properties on the State Surplus Property Program's inventory list
were used for affordable housing development throughout 2020. Programs within Commerce note a substantial need for
this type of development in Washington.1 In the future, the State Surplus Program plans to focus research efforts on site
information that was not explored in previous iterations of this report, but is of key interest to affordable housing
developers. In addition, the program will work on strategic outreach to stakeholders with the intent to match developers
with suitable development sites. The State Surplus Program is going to work within Commerce to harmonize applicable
programs that will elevate the visibility and practicality of the State Surplus Report. The overarching goal of these efforts
is to provide interested stakeholders with a report that serves as a development resource, with more pertinent information
about "shovel-ready" sites than prior reports.
Program History and Authorizing Legislation
The potential to use available state properties for capital investments has gained attention among lawmakers
in recent years. In 2018 the Washington State Legislature directed Commerce to produce a report on state
surplus properties that could be developed into affordable housing.
Prior to legislation enacted in 20182 Commerce received inventories of vacant surplus properties from five
state agencies. In 2018, the number of designated agencies that report surplus property inventory to
Commerce grew to six. More detail on the history of this program is in the 2018 State Surplus Property
Program Report. RCW 43.63A.510 established statutory requirements for the State Surplus Property Program,
creating the framework for the property suitability criteria the program uses.
RCW 43.63A.510 - Affordable housing—Inventory of state-owned land.
(1) The department must work with the designated agencies to identify, catalog, and recommend best use of under-
utilized, state-owned land and property suitable for the development of affordable housing for very low-income, low-

income or moderate-income households. The designated agencies must provide an inventory of real property that is
owned or administered by each agency and is vacant or available for lease or sale. The department must work with
the designated agencies to include in the inventories a consolidated list of any property transactions executed by the
agencies under the authority of RCW 39.33.015, including the property appraisal, the terms and conditions of sale,
lease, or transfer, the value of the public benefit, and the impact of transaction to the agency. The inventories with
revisions must be provided to the department by November 1st of each year.
(2) The department must consolidate inventories into two groups: Properties suitable for consideration in affordable
housing development; and properties not suitable for consideration in affordable housing development. In making
this determination, the department must use industry accepted standards such as: Location, approximate lot size,
current land use designation, and current zoning classification of the property. The department shall provide a
recommendation, based on this grouping, to the office of financial management and appropriate policy and fiscal
committees of the legislature by December 1st of each year.
(3) Upon written request, the department shall provide a copy of the inventory of state-owned and publicly owned
lands and buildings to parties interested in developing the sites for affordable housing.
(4) As used in this section:
(a) "Affordable housing" means residential housing that is rented or owned by a person who qualifies as a very low-
income, low-income, or moderate-income household or who is from a special needs population, and whose monthly
housing costs, including utilities other than telephone, do not exceed thirty percent of the household's monthly
income.
(b) "Very low-income household" means a single person, family, or unrelated persons living together whose income is
at or below fifty percent of the median income, adjusted for household size, for the county where the affordable
housing is located.
(c) "Low-income household" means a single person, family, or unrelated persons living together whose income is
more than fifty percent but is at or below eighty percent of the median income where the affordable housing is
located.
(d) "Moderate-income household" means a single person, family, or unrelated persons living together whose income
is more than eighty percent but is at or below one hundred fifteen percent of the median income where the
affordable housing is located.
(e) "Affordable housing development" means state-owned real property appropriate for sale, transfer, or lease to an
affordable housing developer capable of:
(i) Receiving the property within one hundred eighty days; and
(ii) Creating affordable housing units for occupancy within thirty-six months from the time of transfer.
(f) "Designated agencies" means the Washington state patrol, the state parks and recreation commission, and the
departments of natural resources, social and health services, corrections, and enterprise services.

Expanded Property Methodology and Information
Appendix D contains the methodology for the expanded data collected for potentially suitable properties in the
state surplus inventory. Appendix E has detailed information on 11 properties that were determined to be
potentially suitable for affordable housing. Appendix F provides a hyperlink to the State Surplus Program
website, for additional information on the 32 state surplus properties that are unsuitable for affordable housing
consideration. This report includes information on distances to nearby transit lines, child care centers, schools,
and grocery stores, among other such points of consideration in Evergreen Sustainability Development
Standards and the Washington State Affordable Housing Combined Funders standards. If the State Surplus
Program were to expand to require more state agencies to report surplus property inventory, this information
would be a valuable resource to prospective affordable housing developers.

Determination of Affordable Housing Suitability
Affordable Housing Suitability Criteria
As required by RCW 43.63A.510 (2), Commerce must consolidate the inventories of certain state agencies and
determine which properties are suitable for consideration in developing affordable housing. In developing the
suitability criteria, Commerce aligned the four industry-accepted standards in Table 4 with the goals and
standards used in the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA)3 and Washington State Affordable
Housing Combined Funders application.4 Factors from the Combined Funders application set best practices
governing the development of publicly funded affordable housing sites in Washington. A number of affordable
housing development entities adhere to the Combined Funders standards, including:
Washington State Housing Trust Fund
City of Seattle Office of Housing
King County and Snohomish County local and HUD-funded affordable housing programs
A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH)
Washington State Housing Finance Commission for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
Table 4 details Commerce’s criteria in determining the property’s suitability for affordable housing
development. The first column describes criteria that suggest a property might be suitable for consideration.
The second column in Table 4 describes criteria that tend to exclude a property from being suitable, absent
significant extenuating circumstances.

lands from sprawl. All development in counties and cities that plan under the GMA must adhere to the city and county comprehensive
plans.

Zoning Codes and Land-Use Designations of State Surplus
Properties Suitable for Consideration
Twenty-six percent of the state surplus inventory parcels are currently zoned or are in the land-use
designations, which allow for residential or mixed-use commercial development uses. These zoning
designations make them suitable for residential dwelling construction and potentially suitable for affordable
housing development. Table 5 outlines the codes and designations of the state properties suitable for
affordable housing development.
Seventy-four percent of the surplus properties in the inventory list do not meet the land-use, zoning, lot size, or
lot location requirements suitable for affordable housing development. As noted in Table 4, non-suitable
parcels include land-use and zoning that conserves rural land, agricultural land, and forestlands, or that
discourage residential dwelling uses. Additionally, resource and conservation lands are generally large parcels,
designed to protect land and natural resources, and are not planned to promote residential development.
These parcels would require rezoning or reclassification of land-use designation to be suitable for affordable
housing development. Appendix B contains a full list on the zoning and land-use designations in Appendix B
Table 1. Properties that are unsuitable for affordable housing development consideration can be found in
Appendix C Table 1.

Conclusions
Findings
The State Surplus Property Program inventory list consolidated 43 properties in 2020:
Eleven properties (26%) are suitable for affordable housing development.
Thirty-two properties (74%) are unsuitable for affordable housing development.
Ten suitable properties are located in western Washington and one suitable property is located in eastern
Washington.
No properties from the 2019 State Surplus Property Program Report have been transferred, leased, or
disposed for affordable housing development under the authority of RCW 39.33.015.
State Surplus Program Next Steps
Although no properties on the State Surplus Property Program's inventory list were used for affordable housing
development throughout 2020, programs within Commerce note a substantial need for this type of
construction in Washington.5 In the future, the State Surplus Program plans to include additional research
efforts on site information that is of key interest to affordable housing developers. In addition, the program will
work on strategic outreach to stakeholders with the intent to match developers with suitable development
sites. The overarching goal of these efforts is to provide interested stakeholders with more practical
information about "shovel-ready" sites to assist their efforts to increase the supply of affordable housing..
In October 2019, Commerce's Community Services and Housing Division entered into contract with Enterprise
Community Partners (Enterprise) to establish a digital pathway for affordable housing developers to find
suitable properties in King County. The goal of the contract was to advance Enterprise's Home and Hope
Initiative, aimed at promoting affordable housing projects and education centers on public or tax-exempt land
in Washington State. A key deliverable under the contract is the production of an inventory of developable
public or tax-exempt properties and the Home and Hope site mapper. The site mapper, an online property-
mapping tool that includes parcel data from the King County Assessor, contains updated eligibility areas for
tax credit funding programs, a mechanism to highlight sites currently used for surface parking, and a filter to
highlight sites near planned future light rail. Taking cues from Enterprise's initiative, the State Surplus Program
is working to create a digitized inventory for the 2021 report and beyond. Additionally, the State Surplus
Program plans to incorporate data elements from Enterprise's Home & Hope dashboard into the scope of
future reports. These topics include, but are not limited to:
Collaborate with the Enterprise Community Partners and Commerce's Housing Trust Fund to integrate
necessary property details for affordable housing developers and advocacy groups
Determine federal funding availability of suitable sites with data from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development
Use Washington State Department of Ecology's data on contaminated sites to determine site development
suitability
Incorporate Washington State Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation data on the presence of
potential archaeological sites in the vicinity of surplus parcels

RECOMMENDATIONS PER RCW 43.63A.510
Create an online State Surplus Program inventory for stakeholders involved in affordable housing
development, nonprofit groups, and community advocacy organizations.
After consultation with Enterprise program leads, efforts are also underway to expand the State Surplus
Program's community outreach to increase the program's effectiveness in identifying and evaluating state
surplus properties. The objective of these new measures is to inform developers of affordable housing and
empower groups that can use property information and development feasibility of properties on the surplus
inventory list. The State Surplus Program will conduct outreach to stakeholders that will include, but is not
limited to:
Inform affordable housing developers about suitable sites that could be lined up for future development
Contact elected officials, so that they can be aware of suitable locations for affordable housing
development within their districts
Work together with community advocacy organizations that could support development where suitable
sites exist.
Commerce and community advocacy groups are interested in using public land to develop affordable housing
solutions for vulnerable populations. The use of public land in affordable housing development has garnered
attention in recent years as its proven effective in aiding these communities around the state.678 The Statewide
Reentry Council's biennial report9 recommends using, "public, vacant land and buildings specifically to house
people who have reentered or are otherwise impacted by the criminal legal system." The Council's report cites
Thurston County's Quixote Village, a collaboration between nonprofit organizations, community advocacy
groups, and local, state, and federal government funding to build tiny homes on public land in Olympia.
Thurston County officials created very favorable lease terms (one dollar per year) for the use of the public
property to house members of the county's homeless population.10
The Pennies For Quarters Project in Clallam County sought to build 40 tiny houses in a cluster development
with access to a common building, community gardens, and on-site counseling services for homeless
veterans. The Pennies for Quarters Project spent nearly two years working to find a suitable property for the
location of this project.11 The State Surplus Program plans to investigate other community advocacy groups
focused on affordable housing development for vulnerable populations as a potential use of state agency
surplus properties in the future.
Affordable housing developers face strong competition for developable land, especially in the Puget Sound
region. The challenge is to find and evaluate suitable properties in Washington that are desirable to developers
of affordable housing. The State Surplus Property Program plans to expand its outreach to community
development groups that could use the inventory as a development resource. With the continued support of
designated state agencies, the State Surplus Program Report can be an additional tool to support efforts that

affordable housing is located.
“Low-income household” means a single person, family, or unrelated persons living together whose income is
more than 50 percent but is at or below 80 percent of the median income where the affordable housing is
located.
“Moderate-income household” means a single person, family, or unrelated persons living together whose
income is more than 80 percent but is at or below 115 percent of the median income where the affordable
housing is located.
“Affordable housing development” means state-owned real property appropriate for sale, transfer, or lease to
an affordable housing developer capable of:
Receiving the property within 180 days
Creating affordable housing units for occupancy within 36 months from the time of transfer

Appendix B: Complete Zoning and Land-Use
Designations for State Surplus Property Inventory
Appendix B Table 1 includes the zoning and land-use designations for all properties in the State Surplus
Property Program’s inventory list. These properties vary considerably across the state, both in terms of their
size but also their zoning and land-use role in county planning. Twenty-six percent of the state surplus
inventory consists of parcels that are currently zoned as residential or mixed-use commercial. These zoning
designations make them suitable for residential dwelling construction and potentially suitable for affordable
housing development. Seventy-four percent of the surplus property inventory does not have zoning and land-
use designations that make them suitable for affordable housing development. As noted in Table 3, these
include land-use and zoning that conserves rural land, agricultural land, and forestlands, or that discourages
incompatible uses residential or commercial applications. Additionally, resource and conservation lands are
generally large parcels, designed to conserve land, and not meant to promote residential development without
rezoning or reclassification of land-use designation.

Surplus Properties
The suitability of a property was defined by RCW 43.63A.510 (2) and Table 3 as:
The characteristics of the lot, e.g., lot size
Its current land-use designation
Its current zoning code and ability to develop all forms of affordable housing
Its location characteristics and impediments to construction
In 2019, the State Surplus Property Program decided to include more detailed location information about the
properties on the surplus inventory list. After review of Washington State Affordable Housing Combined
Funders applications and the Department of Commerce Housing Trust Fund handbook, additional criteria were
selected to provide more detailed property data to potential affordable housing developers. Criteria included:
Analysis of lot size and land-use that fits within zoning requirements
Permitted construction of single-family dwellings, multi-family dwellings and group homes
Evaluate the presence of tsunami hazards, critical areas, and wetlands in the property's vicinity
Establish whether properties have access to roads and basic utilities
Determine if there are no geological or environmental impediments to development
Calculate the distance to basic services, e.g., schools, medical facilities, and grocery stores
Assess if properties have access to employment centers
The results of this report are not conclusive; they merely reflect data provided by participating state agencies
