Rooted Northwest

  • Project Type: Cohousing, Multi Family
  • Location: Snohomish County, Washington

Rooted Northwest Cohousing Community and Permaculture Farms is an agrivillage located on a regenerative farm, which was previously a 240-acre dairy farm. The project includes 70 units offered in two phases; a permaculture-based, organic farming operation; and a farm stand.

The project was designed to meet traditional cohousing principles and, in addition, to include features related to ecovillages, including good passive solar orientation and smart management of stormwater. Phase 1 includes 40 homes (townhomes, duplexes, and single-family) oriented to face the sun and clustered to create community, with a centrally located Common House that greets you when you arrive home. Phase 2 will be located more interior to the site, on an upslope overlooking the farms and backing to the forest.

This project included an entitlement process that involved getting a new ordinance passed through the county to allow for this and future projects to happen. The previous ordinance resulted in the exurban decimation of farmland, and the new ordinance will lead to preservation of farmland.
