I’m writing from Friday Harbor to specific concern in regards to the lack of inexpensive housing within the San Juan Islands.
Many native employees — lecturers, nurses, service employees — wrestle to seek out locations to dwell as a result of so many houses are actually trip leases. That is hurting our neighborhood. Companies can’t hold employees, and households are being pushed out. We want stronger guidelines for short-term leases and extra inexpensive housing help earlier than the state of affairs worsens.
