HCESC Lunch & Learn Series - Snohomish County Housing Affordability Data Update with Chris Collier

Our February Lunch & Learn session features special guest Chris Collier of Housing Authority of Snohomish County (HASCO). Chris will present a information and data-rich session titled:

“Snohomish County Housing Affordability Data Update.”

This presentation will provide a comprehensive snapshot of where our housing market stands as we move through 2026, grounded in the most recent available data. Chris will walk us through:

• CY2025 sales and rental market trends – including pricing shifts, rental rate movement, and overall affordability pressures across the county.

• 2024 demographic trends – population changes, household composition, and growth patterns shaping housing demand.

• Employment and wage data – how local job growth and income trends are (or are not) keeping pace with housing costs.
