Summary
The State Surplus Property Program 2024 annual report to the Legislature, an inventory of state-owned real properties and recommendations prepared under RCW 43.63A.510 by the Washington State Department of Commerce and dated December 1, 2024. The report states that DNR reported 11 properties, PARKS reported 21 and WSDOT reported five, for 37 properties reviewed. It determines that eight properties are suitable for consideration for affordable housing development and 29 are not, and states that no designated agency disposed of public property for affordable housing under RCW 39.33.015 in the year ending Nov. 1, 2024. It suggests that more flexibility in the 36-month development timeframe could make state surplus lands more desirable. The report closes with a property datasheet for the I-5 off ramp site in Lacey and a disclaimer that its results are not conclusive.

Executive summary
Overview
In nearly every Washington community, the rising cost of land and construction negatively affects the ability to
develop affordable housing.1 This is especially true in high-cost areas like the Puget Sound region. The use of
state-owned real property provides a low-cost or no-cost option if the land is used for public benefit, such as
affordable housing.
Each year the Department of Commerce (Commerce) is required to consolidate surplus real estate inventories
of designated state agencies into two groups: Properties suitable for consideration in affordable housing
development, and properties that are not suitable for consideration. Of the 37 properties inventoried by
Commerce in 2024, eight were determined suitable for consideration for affordable housing development
(Table 1).

Since 1993, Commerce has worked with other state agencies to provide an annual inventory of real property
that is state-owned and available for sale, transfer or lease. Since 2018, the designated agencies are the
Washington State Patrol (WSP), the State Parks and Recreation Commission (PARKS), and the departments of
Natural Resources (DNR), Social and Health Services (DSHS), Corrections (DOC), and Enterprise Services
(DES).2 The program also requests the inventory of the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT).
The State Surplus Property Program annual report and interactive mapping tool provides access to the
inventory of state-owned lands that are vacant or available for sale or lease for affordable housing. This
resource informs local decision makers, affordable housing developers, public housing authorities, and other
interested parties.
In 2024, staff enhanced marketability, outreach, coordination with Commerce housing programs, and technical
assistance to promote the surplus properties for affordable housing opportunities. The program's goal is to
promote the use of state-owned surplus lands for public benefit, specifically to increase the supply of quality,
safe and affordable housing. Statute requires designated state agencies report annually by Nov. 1 and

Commerce to submit its analysis to the Office of Financial Management and appropriate policy and fiscal
committees of the Legislature by Dec. 1.
Therefore, the preliminary determination of suitability for development is based on a swift analysis of state
agency reports, eliminating properties that were clearly unsuitable for affordable housing development.
Surplus real property inventory annual update
Of the six designated agencies required to report their surplus real estate inventories, two had properties for
consideration in 2024. DNR reported 11 properties, and PARKS reported 21. Additionally, the State Surplus
Property Program requested WSDOT's surplus property inventory from WSDOT's Real Estate Services Program.
WSDOT reported five state-owned surplus parcels. In total, 37 properties were reviewed for this report. The
distribution of these parcels throughout the state is shown in Figure 1.

The State Surplus Property Program determined that eight properties (noted in blue) are suitable for
consideration for affordable housing development and 29 are not suitable.
No designated agency disposed of public property for affordable housing, under the authority of RCW
39.33.015, during the one-year period starting Nov. 1, 2023, and ending Nov. 1, 2024.
Department of Corrections
The Department of Corrections did not report surplus real property to program in 2024. This represents no
change to its surplus inventory from the prior year.
Department of Enterprise Services
Department of Enterprise Services reported no surplus inventory in 2024.
2024 ANNUAL REPORT INVENTORY OF STATE-OWNED REAL PROPERTIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5
Department of Natural Resources
Through evaluation of urban and transition lands3, Department of Natural Resources determined two additional
properties were potentially suitable for affordable housing development in 2024. The agency also reported that
they have been in negotiations with the City of Westport regarding DNR's three suitable surplus properties on
S. Forrest St. The City of Westport is working to secure funding, with plans to build workforce housing on the
parcels.
Department of Social and Health Services
The Department of Social and Health Services reported that it added real property to its capital assets but no
real estate was designated as surplus. This represents no change to the agency's surplus inventory from the
prior year.
Department of Transportation
Through the authority of RCW 47.12.064, the Washington State Department of Transportation identifies and
catalogs real property that is no longer required for department use and is suitable for the development of
affordable housing. Additionally, WSDOT's surplus real estate has an active rotation of properties available at
auction. However, these reports were not completed in time for this report. Those reports will be added to the
interactive map when available.
Parks and Recreation Commission
The State Parks and Recreation Commission reported no change to the 21 inventoried surplus lands from the
prior year.
Washington State Patrol
The Washington State Patrol reported no surplus real property in 2024. This represents no change to its
surplus inventory from the prior year.
Conclusions
The State Surplus Property Program inventory list includes 37 properties in 2024:
Eight properties (22%) on the surplus property inventory are suitable for consideration of affordable
housing development.
Twenty-nine properties (78%) on the surplus property inventory are unsuitable for consideration of
affordable housing development.
Three of the eight suitable properties are new to the inventory this year. These include DNR's Tacoma parcel at
E. 57th Street and East Q Street; 33rd Street in Bellingham near the Sehome Hill Arboretum; and a small
residential parcel in Rochester near Pendleton St SW and 181st St SW.
The State Surplus Property Program continues to work with stakeholders to elevate the report and the
program's inventory, which has garnered increased interest from developers, affordable housing providers, and
community development financial institutions. The case studies in this report illustrate that having additional

that details a diversified source of revenue for state trust land beneficiaries. The lands are either transition lands (currently used for
natural resource production but a more efficient use could exist) or urban lands (land use that is expected to be urban in nature and
where capital improvements or services will exist). These sites could serve a more beneficial use than state-managed timberlands,
depending on location.

flexibility in the 36-month timeframe associated with RCW 43.63A.510 and initial occupancy from the time the
property is transferred could make state surplus lands more desirable by reducing risks from short project
timelines. Generally, properties on the suitable inventory list do not have quick turnover, and designated
agencies in recent years have not disposed of public property for affordable housing. This improvement
opportunity reflects sentiment from developers about the feasibility of projects in current market and financing
conditions. If the Legislature extended the required development timeline, it could also make the use of state-
owned lands for affordable housing more reasonable and reduce market risks.
There are encouraging signs that properties owned by state agencies are being considered for affordable
housing development. In particular, the Department of Natural Resources continues to explore lands that the
agency has designated surplus. And the agency is closing on an escheat (unclaimed) trust property to the
Pierce County Community Development Corporation for 28 units of affordable housing, which will be detailed
in next year's report.
Program history and authorizing legislation
In 2018, the Washington State Legislature directed Commerce to produce a report on state-owned surplus land
that could be developed into affordable housing, and increased the number of reporting agencies from five to
six.4 More detail on this history is in the 2018 version of this report.
Starting in 2019, the State Surplus Property Program expanded the parcel information it collected about the
surplus inventory list to include more detailed assessment of state-owned real estate, and selected additional
criteria to provide more detailed property data to interested stakeholders. Criteria includes5:
• Analysis of lot size and land use that fits within zoning requirements
• Permitted construction of single-family dwellings, multi-family dwellings and group homes
• Establish whether properties have access to roads and basic utilities
• Calculate the distance to basic services, such as schools, medical facilities and grocery stores
• Assess if properties have access to employment centers
To elevate the information presented in the program's annual report, the program produced an interactive
mapping tool in 2021 to show the locations of these parcels statewide. The mapping tool has the added
benefit of allowing users to see pertinent report details, transit routes and stops for transit-oriented
development, and locations of community resources relative to available state-owned parcels.
RCW 43.63A.510 establishes 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.

An ongoing need to support affordable housing in
Washington
Renters and homeowners face ever-increasing cost challenges
In Washington, nearly half of renters are cost-burdened, spending more than 30% of their household income on
housing costs.6 Those with extremely low incomes, where household income is 30% or less of the Area Median
Income (AMI), have the hardest time finding and keeping housing.7

EXTREMELY LOW INCOME VERY LOW INCOME LOW INCOME MIDDLE INCOME
Source: National Low Income Housing Coalition, The Gap 2024
As shown in Figure 2, more than 80% of very low- and extremely low-income households spend at least 30% of
their income on housing costs. Even worse, three out of four extremely low-income households spend at least
50% of their household income on housing. This puts these households at risk of losing their housing or
moving to less expensive areas, farther from jobs, family support and public transportation.8 When housing
costs are more affordable and housing opportunities are more readily available, there is a lower likelihood of
these households becoming homeless or being priced out of the places they currently live. According to a
2024 report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, 23.1% of Washington renters (237,903
households) were extremely low-income. To meet the needs of extremely-low income households, Washington
would have to add 171,981 units that are both affordable and available to them.9
Housing affordability is not improving for Washington's prospective homeowners. In the second quarter of
2024, the Washington Center for Real Estate Research's (WCRER) Housing Market Snapshot indicates that

WCRER's Homeownership Affordability Index is a measure of median income and the amount needed to afford
a median priced home. A Homeownership Affordability Index value of 100 means a household with a median
income has exactly enough income to qualify for a mortgage on a median-priced home.11
The first-time buyer Homeownership Afford-ability Index (HAI) assesses the affordability of a house at 85% of
the median price for a household with 70% of the median income and a reduced down payment. A First Time
HAI value of 100 means that a household with 70% of median household income has exactly enough income
to qualify for a mortgage on a home priced at 85% of the median. As illustrated in Figure 3, there was a
temporary increase in affordability throughout the state in 2020, but the trend in decreasing housing
affordability continued in 2023.
Using state-owned surplus properties for affordable housing
development
Although no properties on the State Surplus Property Program's inventory were used for affordable housing
development throughout 2023 and 2024, programs within Commerce note a substantial need for development
throughout Washington.12 The State Surplus Property Program plans to continue to look for innovative agency
partners and programs to improve the breadth and reach of the report and increase visibility with interested
stakeholders. With the continued support of designated state agencies, the State Surplus Program Report can
support efforts that result in more affordable housing throughout the state.

Determination of affordable housing suitability
In developing the suitability criteria, Commerce aligned the four industry-accepted standards in Table 2 with
the goals and standards used in Chapter 217, Laws of 2018, the Washington State Growth Management Act
(GMA)13 and Washington State Affordable Housing Combined Funders application.14 These standards are used
by various state, local and nonprofit affordable housing entities including:
Washington State Housing Trust Fund
A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH)
King and Snohomish county housing authorities
Washington State Housing Finance Commission for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits

The results of this report are not conclusive, but rather reflect data provided by participating state agencies
and digitally accessible data. Site-specific visits and consultation with the jurisdiction's planning department
would be required to reconcile conflicting data, gather missing data, and verify the suitability of these
properties for affordable housing development.
Supplemental state surplus property information and results
Appendix A provides a review of the definitions contained in RCW 43.63A.510 (Affordable Housing -- Inventory
of State-owned Land), and RCW 39.33.015 (Transfer, Lease, Disposal of Public Property for Affordable

Opportunities for program improvements
Partnering with successful Commerce programs
One way to enhance the desirability of many underutilized inventory parcels is to integrate outreach efforts
with other Commerce funding sources. One example is the Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program
(CHIP), which was created in 2021 to fund water, sewer and stormwater utility improvements for new
affordable housing construction.
The availability of other state funding opportunities, coupled with low-to-no-cost state-owned surplus
properties, may create a powerful combination to help address the growing need for affordable housing
throughout the state. The following section shows the complexities and challenges of affordable housing
projects, especially around development timelines. Strategic funding and partnerships are key.
Review of projects indicates affordable housing development
timelines often exceed statutory timeline
Affordable housing development is a complex process requiring significant time, energy and commitment,
often spanning years. The lengthy timelines highlight the need for more flexibility.
While RCW 43.63A.510 mandates that designated agencies must inventory and catalog underutilized state-
owned lands, the goal to meet a 36-month development timeline after property transfer may be overly
optimistic given market conditions. Affordable housing projects typically involve extensive stages of planning,
financing and community engagement. Additionally, developers must navigate zoning adjustments,
environmental assessments, infrastructure improvements, and state/local financing hurdles. Increasing the
completion deadline to 48 months could help developers use state-owned lands for affordable housing.
Below are two case studies for affordable housing projects. Both exceeded the 36-month mark. One, at 111
and 161 Pattison St., involved a multi-phase, mixed-use development. The other, at 611 Texas St., focused on a
single-family home. Together, these projects highlight the importance of public-private partnerships, local
government involvement, and the use of surplus properties to create long-term affordable housing solutions.
They also show that government entities that partner with developers on affordable housing have to be
committed through long project timelines.

Case studies
In the case studies of affordable housing development that follow, additional flexibility was necessary for
success. They also illustrate the value of potential flexibility associated with the 36-month transfer to
occupancy timeframe outlined in RCW 43.63A.510, which could make state-agency surplus lands more
desirable and less vulnerable to common constraints.
Case study #1: Permanent supportive housing, 111 & 161 Pattison
St. NE, Olympia, WA
In July 2018, the City of Olympia purchased a property at 111 & 161 Pattison St. NE as part of a broader
initiative to address affordable housing and homelessness.16 The purchase was funded by a loan of $1.35
million, supported by revenues from the Olympia Home Fund, which had been approved by local voters earlier
that year.17 The intent of purchasing the property was to develop supportive housing and a temporary shelter,
to reduce the number of Thurston County residents experiencing homelessness and housing instability.
In August 2019, the city approved the sale of the property to the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) for $1,
significantly below market value, to support the development of affordable housing.18 The sale agreement
required the property to be used for affordable housing in perpetuity through a restrictive covenant, per the
Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement and Olympia's Home Fund statute.
Development and outcomes
The development at 161 Pattison St. NE, led by LIHI in partnership with Interfaith Works, aimed to address the
acute need for supportive housing for people making less than 60% area median income in Olympia. The first
phase of development, known as Unity Commons, was completed in January 2022 and included 65 units of
permanent supportive housing and a 58-bed 24/7 enhanced shelter. The building was designed to
accommodate people experiencing homelessness, as well as low-income seniors, veterans, and people with
disabilities. Interfaith Works operates the shelter, providing case management and support services to

residents. The second phase of development, at 111 Pattison St. NE, broke ground in June 2023 and was
completed in September 2024. Phase 2, named Lotus Court, added 64 units of supportive housing.
Both phases of the project were financed through a mix of public and private funds, with a total cost of $20.7
million. The public-private partnership included contributions from the State Housing Trust Fund, tax credits
from the State Housing Finance Commission, the City of Olympia, Thurston County, and private investors.19
Adaptable development timelines made it possible to break the project into phases. The first phase took about
three years from when the developer took over site control to move-in readiness. The second phase took
nearly six years after site control was transferred.
Case study #2: Modular affordable single-family home, 611 Texas St.
NE, Bellingham
The Bellingham City Council declared 611 Texas St. surplus property Oct. 22, 2018, as part of an effort to
support affordable housing20. Initially, the city planned to sell the property and use the proceeds to support
other initiatives.21 After further consideration and recognizing the critical need for affordable housing, the city
decided to partner with Kulshan Community Land Trust (KulshanCLT) to develop the property into long-term
affordable housing. The project aimed to serve a low-income family, particularly one with a disabled child,
within three years of the property being transferred to the developer.
Development process
The City of Bellingham transferred the land to KulshanCLT for $160,000, structured as a deferred loan and a
promissory note with a deed of trust recorded on the land.22 This arrangement helped reduce the financial
burden on KulshanCLT, as the land was transferred at below market rate.
Additionally, the city invested in site improvements, including rezoning the property from government to
residential use. KulshanCLT paid to adjust a neighboring sewer line, which cost about $72,000. City officials
said these improvements were necessary to make the lot suitable for residential development and to ensure

the success of the project.23 The original goal was to complete the project within three years of the land
transfer. However, the timeline was extended by a year due to the complexities of funding, site preparations,
and adjusting the construction plans from a stick-built home to a modular one, with some changes owing to
supply chain disruptions. Total project cost came to $453,00024, including land, building and improvements.
Project timeline from developer site control to move-in ready
KulshanCLT took control of 611 Texas St. in January 2020, and the project was completed by spring 2024 —
four years from the point of developer control to move-in readiness. Navigating the zoning adjustment,
infrastructure improvements and financing hurdles proved to be too much for the initial three-year timeline.
However, the property is now long-term affordable housing, which was the ultimate goal from nearly six years
earlier.

Conclusion
8 properties (22%) on the surplus property inventory are suitable for consideration of affordable housing
development.
29 properties (78%) on the surplus property inventory are unsuitable for consideration of affordable
housing development. Unsuitable properties typically have more than one disqualifying feature with the
primary reason being a lack of available infrastructure:
• 24 properties (65%) lack access to utilities and seventeen (46%) do not have legal access
• 15 properties (41%) have a lot too small for residential development based on local code
• 12 properties (32%) with a critical area present (high erosion potential, steep slopes, or wetlands)
• 5 properties (14%) have zoning restrictions disallowing residential construction
No properties from the 2024 State Surplus Property Program Report were transferred, leased or disposed
for affordable housing development under the authority of RCW 39.33.015.
The short 36-month timeline to completion, as required under RCW 43.63A.510, creates challenges for the
development of affordable housing project as shown by the case studies in this report. An extension in this
timeline, even to 48-months, would align with the realities of housing development and current market
conditions to assist the disposition of state surplus properties for affordable housing purposes.

Appendix C: Expanded data collected for suitable
properties in the State Surplus Property Inventory
The suitability of a property is defined by RCW 43.63A.510 (2) as:
• The characteristics of the lot, for example 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
Starting 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, the Department of Commerce Housing Trust Fund handbook, and the
Evergreen Sustainable Development Standards, additional criteria were selected to provide more detailed
property data to interested stakeholders. 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 vicinity
• Establish whether properties have access to roads and basic utilities
• Determine there are no geological or environmental impediments to development
• Calculate the distance to basic services, such as 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
— Washington State Patrol, State Parks and Recreation Commission, Department of Natural Resources,
Department of Social Health Services, Department of Corrections, Department of Enterprise Services, the
Department of Transportation — and digitally accessible data.
In some cases, discrepancies between information gathered by agencies and county assessors prevented
determination of a property’s suitability. In other cases, the requisite data to determine a property’s suitability
could not be located.
Site-specific visits would be required to reconcile conflicting data, gather missing data, and verify the suitability
of these properties for affordable housing development.
