Ron Davis is a consultant who works in both the public affairs and early-stage startup spaces.

His policy work is focused on building affordable, clean, safe, and healthy communities. He recently partnered with Sightline Institute to help bring together a broad coalition that advanced the Parking Reform and Modernization Act. Ron also serves on the legislative committee of the board at Futurewise, an organization that has supported many of Washington’s major statewide housing reforms—including middle housing, transit-oriented development, and Growth Management Act updates on climate and transportation.

His writing on housing and transportation policy has appeared in national publications like The Atlantic and The Huffington Post, as well as regional outlets such as Sightline, The Urbanist, The Stranger, and Publicola. He has covered a wide range of topics, from comprehensive plan updates and housing benefit districts to parking reform, climate, taxes, homelessness, and public safety.

Ron also authors the “Rondezvous” newsletter (rondezvouswa.com), which covers housing and transportation alongside issues like schools, policing, transit, and community well-being.

In all of his work, Ron is known for helping diverse groups find common ground and practical solutions to improve quality of life in our communities—demonstrated most recently in the successful bipartisan effort to reform parking policy in Washington State.
