King County and Sound Transit promote transit-oriented communities along Link light rail corridors, requiring affordable housing, reduced parking, and pedestrian-friendly design near new stations.
Sound Transit's Link expansions in Northgate, Lynnwood, Federal Way, Bellevue, Redmond, and West Seattle/Ballard trigger transit-oriented community plans coordinated with host cities and King County. Surplus property must prioritize at least 80% affordable housing under RCW 81.112.350. Parking minimums are reduced and active-frontage standards adopted within walking distance of stations. King County's Equitable Transit-Oriented Communities policy adds anti-displacement measures and community land trust support.
TOC standards are implemented via city zoning and Sound Transit surplus rules; non-compliance shows up at permit review, not as resident-level penalties.
