Olympia mayoral candidate Stephen Buxbaum sat down for a relaxed chat with “You Make Olympia” host Mathias Eichler about development, urban housing, when to say “no” and challenging the city to be carbon neutral.

Buxbaum was elected to the Olympia City Council in 2009 and has served in Washington state government as assistant director for housing, managing director for community development and executive director of the Rural Development Council.
