Enumclaw wants to hear from residents about housing and recreation inside city limits in order to update its Comprehensive Plan and provide better services.

The first survey is about housing, and asks about housing security, what important factors you consider when considering renting or buying a home, and opinions on “middle housing” (duplexes and accessory dwelling unity).

You can take the survey at tinyurl.com/224zae7d.

The second survey, which is slightly longer than the housing survey, is in regard to parks. It asks how much you’re familiar with the Parks and Rec department, whether the current amount of open spaces, parks, and recreation programs meet the needs of the city, how the Parks and Rec department should set its priorities, and more.

You can take the parks survey at surveymonkey.com/r/SG6YYH5.

Both surveys are anonymous, and will help Enumclaw craft its Comprehensive Plan, which, while not a legally-binding document, helps lock in the direction the city will take when it comes to development, expansion, services, and more.
