Seattle will add more than 100,000 residents by 2035, along with thousands of new jobs. The City’s Comprehensive Plan is a blueprint for how and where we handle all that growth. We want your ideas on how we can best guide smart and sustainable growth for future generations.
On May 3rd, you are invited to join City planners and the Seattle Planning Commission at an interactive and thought-provoking discussion. Our breakout sessions will focus on climate change actions, walkable communities, and attractive and functional buildings and streets.
This meeting is an important step for developing amendments to the Seattle Comprehensive Plan and the update to the Climate Action Plan. Please spread the word to your friends and neighbors about this opportunity and join us on May 3rd.
