Trivia Question

What landmark legislation, passed in Washington State, has profoundly influenced urban planning, transportation, and land use by requiring municipalities to develop comprehensive plans that address growth management, environmental protection, and community development?

A) The Washington State Environmental Policy Act of 1971
B) The Growth Management Act of 1990
C) The Washington Urban Mobility and Access Bill of 2005
D) The Sustainable Transportation Act of 2010

The answer to last issue's trivia question:

Which urban renewal project in Washington State is notable for its sustainable land use and has been recognized as one of the first developments in the state to reintegrate a natural creek into an urban environment, which was previously piped underground?

B) The Thornton Creek Water Quality Channel in Seattle is a significant urban renewal project that focuses on environmental restoration and sustainable land use. This project involved daylighting a portion of Thornton Creek that was previously diverted underground, reintegrating it into the urban landscape as a natural water feature. This initiative not only helps manage stormwater and improve water quality but also enhances the local ecosystem and provides the community with a revitalized public space. It's a pioneering example of integrating natural environmental features into urban planning.
