Sightline Institute's report--"Sprawl and Smart Growth in Greater Seattle-Tacoma"--analyzes how the Puget Sound region did at curbing sprawl and developing efficiently in the 1990s. The report provides detailed rankings of counties' and municipalities' records in smart growth, and compares the Puget Sound region with the Northwest's other two major metropolises, Portland and Vancouver, BC.
