SIGHTLINE INSTITUTE

SEATTLE, Washington, 98121 United States

Mission Statement

Sightline Institute’s mission is to make Cascadia—from the Rockies to the Pacific, from Alaska to Oregon—a global model of sustainability, with strong communities, a green economy, and a healthy environment.

About This Cause

Sightline Institute is an independent, nonprofit think tank committed to making Cascadia a global model of sustainability. Through research, policy analysis, and practical tools, we tackle the region’s biggest challenges—from abundant housing and clean energy to climate resilience and democracy reform. Our work is driven by the belief that sustainability and equity go hand in hand. In Oregon, our recent efforts helped establish a statewide system to hold cities accountable for housing production, defend parking reforms, and advance ranked choice voting. In Washington, we were key architects of major housing legislation, earning 2023 the title “the year of housing,” while also launching a transition plan for oil refineries toward cleaner energy. For over 30 years, Sightline has turned bold ideas into real-world progress, helping communities become more affordable, resilient, and just. When you support Sightline, you’re investing in lasting, systemic change.
