华盛顿州西雅图新当选议员詹克斯主张放宽建房管制
华盛顿州金县西雅图市消息：西雅图市第五选区新当选市议员尼卢·詹克斯表示，她将推动放宽分区管制、提高审批效率并改革该市现行的强制住房可负担计划，以应对住房短缺与高房价。
詹克斯是进步派城市规划倡导者，在今年西雅图市唯一的市议会选举中击败温和派候选人朱莉娅·康，赢得第五选区席位。她的竞选纲领以公共安全、可负担性与市政税收为核心，主张通过增加住房供应来压低租金与房价。她的主张还得到州众议员肖恩·斯科特的背书。
根据西雅图市建设与检查局的数据，2026年至今全市仅收到509份新建高密度住宅单元申请，反映出开发活动低迷。市议会预计将在新一届会期审议分区改革与许可流程调整方案。
Seattle's Newly Elected Councilmember Jenks Wants to Ease Housing Rules
SEATTLE — Nilu Jenks, the newly elected Seattle City Council member for District 5, says she will push to dismantle zoning restrictions, speed up permitting and reform the city's Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) program to address housing shortages and high prices.
Jenks, a progressive urban-planning advocate, defeated moderate candidate Julia Kang in Seattle's only City Council election this year to win the District 5 seat. Her platform centered on public safety, affordability and city revenue, arguing that increasing housing supply will bring down rents and home prices. She was endorsed by state Rep. Shaun Scott, among others.
According to the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections, the city has received only 509 applications for new high-density housing units so far in 2026, reflecting sluggish development activity. The council is expected to take up zoning reform and permitting changes in the new term.
