Fifteen households have committed to buying into Rooted Northwest, a co-housing community near Arlington, WA, where 70 homes will be clustered on 240 acres of farmland with 93% of the land preserved for gardens, forest, and farming. The group pooled their money in 2020 to buy the land from an elderly farmer before developers could snap it up. "We can't afford to lose it. We have to help save it," says project manager and cofounder Dave Boehnlein.
