Builder Councils

MBAKS Builder Councils bring members together to address housing policy and regulatory issues in King County, Snohomish County, and the City of Seattle. 

People connecting in large foyer.

Work with other industry professionals to impact housing policy. Council members participate in roundtable discussions with local decisionmakers, track issues that affect day-to-day business, and stay informed through weekly newsletters.
