The people a growth plan names, the public land that could house and employ them, and the means to check the arithmetic used on both. Each part below stands on its own record, and each one leads back to the other two.
What the state actually asked for
Duvall has added 514 homes since 2019, twice the pace its target asks, and the city counts room for 932 more against a target of 890. The fight is not the total. It is 675 homes for households under 80% of the county median, 409 of them under about $44,400 a year for a household of three, and zoning cannot build those: a new apartment here needs about $2,300 a month, and that household can pay about $1,109. Public money and public land can close the gap. The city's own vacant lot is the test.
From the city's own slides, recordings and drafts, the state's housing counts and federal income tables, every figure sourced. Published as its own campaign, by the same household.

King County fenced this valley for food in 1985, bought the farming rights on a 75-acre farm on Duvall-Monroe Road in 1986, and bought the farm itself in 2020 for a trail it has never funded. A cooperative farm, a food hub in the standing barn, and the trailhead the county designated, under a compatible-use lease, no purchase, no conversion, no county capital. The record is tied to deeds, permits, and county reports; estimates are marked as estimates.
The full proposal: the parcel, why it is idle, the legal path, the funding routes, and the record.

If institutions can produce paperwork faster than the public can read it, consent becomes a formality performed at a microphone. Closing that gap takes someone local with the time, the data, and a machine of their own; better, a town that holds that machine itself. We build both kinds: for a business, a farm, a nonprofit or a public office, an open-source computing station the organization owns outright, documents that hold up, and websites that load fast and say what they mean; and, with a coalition, the shared kind a town keeps. Resilience is the ability to keep working when the connection to somewhere else is cut. Plain pricing, on its own page.
Local compute setup from $10,000; you buy the hardware to our specification. Document drafting and business consulting at $100 an hour. Websites at $100 an hour.

Each of the three pages has a form at the bottom that reaches one inbox, read by a person. No list, no tracking. Nothing on this site is legal, planning or financial advice, and none of it is the position of the City of Duvall, King County, or any agency.
