What's ahead

The Seattle Times and its Front Porch Forum partners will publish and broadcast stories next month that explore the costs of growth, and who pays them. In the weeks that follow, more stories will look into:

-- Government programs that promote growth.

-- What immigration has meant to the Puget Sound area.

-- Other communities' experiences with trying to slow down growth.

-- The region's birth rate and its role in population growth.
