The people a growth plan names, the ground that could 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 already has zoned room for 453 homes beyond its 2044 target. The whole deficit is 675 homes priced for households under 80% of the county median, 409 of them under 30%, which zoning cannot build. Over 1,000 people commute into Duvall each weekday for the jobs here, while 92% of working residents commute out. In December both roads closed and the town was an island. The numbers, the questions the council has to answer, and five points for the microphone.

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. An estimated twenty-five to fifty jobs at valley wages. 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. That is what we build and sell, for businesses, farms, nonprofits and public offices: an open-source computing station the organization actually owns, documents that hold up, and websites that load fast and say what they mean. 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 $30,000. Document drafting and business consulting from $200. 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.
