Washington state's eviction filings just hit record highs – and officials are acting shocked as if they didn't create this mess themselves. With over 7,300 eviction filings in King County alone and a 53% statewide increase since 2019, we're witnessing the predictable results of decades of housing-hostile policies. From rent control laws that discourage new construction to growth management acts that strangle supply, Washington's leaders have built a system designed to fail. Meanwhile, they're burning through taxpayer money on 'Right to Counsel' programs and endless assistance while ignoring the root cause: their own regulations. Council members blame 'price gouging' while simultaneously making it nearly impossible to build affordable housing. Is anyone surprised that landlords are fleeing the market when tenants can stay rent-free for years with endless legal protections? How long before Washington residents wake up and demand real solutions instead of more failed policies? Don't let them bury this story – subscribe and hit the notification bell to stay informed about the government accountability they don't want you to see.
