Legislators in Olympia are considering a host of bills to address the housing crisis, and Tuesday, members from both parties announced they're finding common ground.A group of lawmakers highlighted a suite of policy proposals, backed by both Republicans and Democrats, that would make regulatory and construction changes aimed at boosting the supply of homes across Washington.Rep. Andrew Barkis, a Republican from Olympia, said this bipartisan effort reflects how urgent the shortage is."These policies will start to chip away and have meaningful impact right away at getting at product on the ground and people with keys in their hands to move into their homes," Barkis said.
