华盛顿州州长 Ferguson 公布住房加速计划进展：商务部首份报告列出建房障碍与成本因素
华盛顿州州长办公室公布，州商务部已向州议会提交「华盛顿住房生产加速器」（WARP）的首份报告，列出加快住房建设面临的障碍、成本驱动因素与州级行动的初步优先事项，最终建议预计于 2027 年 6 月提出。
WARP 由州长 Bob Ferguson 提出，并写入其首份补充预算。该加速器源于 Ferguson 2025 年 1 月就职后几分钟内签署的行政令，该行政令要求各州机构审查所有影响住房、许可与建设的规章，找出可以精简、延期或取消的条款。
Ferguson 说：「我竞选州长时走遍了全州 39 个县，听到最多的问题就是住房。这也是我上任第一天起就把它列为最优先事项之一的原因。我们已在建设更多住房、让住房更可负担方面作出历史性投入。这份报告是下一步，将建立一个高效、有效的监管框架，让我们能建造更多各种类型的住房。」
州长办公室称，Ferguson 上任以来已签署 50 多项与住房相关的法律，并向可负担住房投入近 10 亿美元。根据州财政管理办公室的调查数据，2025 年 4 月至 2026 年 3 月间，华盛顿州新增 41,000 套住房，其中多户型住宅占增长的 62%，且这些多户型住房中有 69% 建在全州五个最大的都会县，即 Clark、King、Pierce、Snohomish 与 Spokane 五县。
商务部临时主任 Sarah Clifthorne 说：「当住房成本太高、建设时间太长时，家庭要为此付出更高的租金、更长的通勤和更少的购房机会。WARP 让我们先把拖慢建设的因素弄清楚，再一起动手清除障碍，创造更多住房。」

Washington Governor Ferguson Announces Progress on Housing Accelerator: Commerce Report Lays Out Barriers and Cost Drivers
The Office of Washington Governor Bob Ferguson announced that the state Department of Commerce has delivered its first report to the Legislature on the Washington Accelerator for Residential Production (WARP), presenting preliminary options to speed up housing production, lower costs and remove unnecessary regulations, with final recommendations expected in June 2027.
Governor Ferguson proposed WARP in his first supplemental budget. The accelerator builds on his January 2025 Executive Order, signed minutes after taking office, directing state agencies to review all regulations that impact housing, permitting and construction and identify any provision that can be streamlined, deferred or eliminated.
"When I was running for Governor, I visited all 39 counties, and by far, the issue I heard about the most was housing," Governor Ferguson said. "That's why it's been one of my top priorities since day one of my administration. We've made historic investments in building more housing and making housing more affordable. This report is the next step in building a framework for efficient, effective regulation that lets us build more housing of all kinds."
Since taking office, Governor Ferguson has signed more than 50 housing-related laws and invested nearly $1 billion into affordable housing. Between April 2025 and March 2026, Washington added 41,000 housing units, according to survey data from the Office of Financial Management. Multi-family units accounted for 62% of that growth, and 69% of those units were built in one of the state's five largest metropolitan counties - Clark, King, Pierce, Snohomish and Spokane.
"When homes cost too much and take too long to build, families pay for it in higher rents, longer commutes and fewer chances to own a home," said Commerce Interim Director Sarah Clifthorne. "WARP is how we get on the same page about what is slowing down building so we can work together to remove barriers to creating more housing."
