🏠HASCO broke ground on a $90.1 million Lynnwood housing community with 124 homes

If you're watching affordable housing in Snohomish County, here's a big one. The Housing Authority of Snohomish County (HASCO) broke ground Tuesday on The Bow Tie at 5710 200th St. SW, the former Pinewood and Timberglen apartments site. It will have 124 homes for seniors and families, and HASCO estimates it will be done in 2028.

Most of the $90.1 million comes from a bond issuance and low-income housing tax credits. Snohomish County, the Amazon Housing Fund and the state fill in the rest.

“As long as I'm governor, that priority will remain unchanged.”

The name honors former HASCO Executive Director Bob Davis, who's known for sporting a bow tie. Several dozen people gathered under a canopy tent, and some wore bow ties of their own.
