This week we’re joined by Brooke Belman, deputy executive director for Land Use Planning and Development and her colleagues Sloan Dawson, land use planning manager, and Thatcher Imboden, transit-oriented development manager to talk about the ins and outs of transit oriented development at Sound Transit in Seattle.
