–Public is invited to help review and update Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan

The Department of Planning and Development, working together with the Seattle Planning Commission, is inviting the public to weigh in on the important opportunities and challenges Seattle faces over the next twenty years.  The City of Seattle is reviewing and updating its Comprehensive Plan and needs input from the public on what the City should focus on. This review is required to take place every seven years by the state Growth Management Act.

A number of online tools have been developed to help people weigh in on this important project.  The public is encouraged to:

• Watch the Comp Plan Update Video. Learn more about why the Comp Plan matters and why you should get involved. www.seattle.gov/dpd/Planning/CompPlan
