Our Vision

We all want to live in a great community – one where all people have access to jobs, housing and effective transportation; a place where people are healthy with clean air and water, safe streets and plenty of green spaces; a community where our unique places, cultural traditions, and critical natural resources are preserved and leveraged to ensure a better quality of life for everyone today and in the future.

Making the Vision a Reality

As the leading smart growth organization in Washington state, we work in three key program areas to develop solutions to the challenges faced by our communities. Through data analysis and research, Futurewise helps governments, businesses, non-profits, community organizations, and social service agencies identify and solve their communities’ toughest challenges. We listen and learn from the people who are most impacted by planning and policy decisions. We work with communities to develop and advocate for plans, policies and investments that create long-term impacts and achieve healthier outcomes. And we convene the right partners to make things happen and create real change.
