Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson launched the Seattle Renter’s Survey at the beginning of February, hoping to address the city’s affordable housing crisis.

In a video statement, Mayor Wilson said that while her administration works to make housing more affordable, renters across the city need to keep organizing and speaking out. She believes this survey will be a key step in addressing affordable rental housing.

The deadline for responses has been extended, so renters from all neighborhoods have until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, February 20, to complete the survey.
