Neighborhood Status Reports Public Meeting
November 5 I November 10 I November 12
During June and July, many neighbors joined in meetings and many other hundreds participated in on line questionnaires to review the Draft Neighborhood Status Reports and comment on changes— good, bad, and unexpected —that have occurred since Seattle’s Neighborhood Plans were written in the late 90's. We explored growth, transportation, housing, economic development, utilities, neighborhood character, open space and parks, public services, public safety.
So, what did we hear? Come to the November meeting in your area and find out.
The Neighborhood Plan Advisory Committee (NPAC) and the Seattle Planning Commission want to report back to you on the trends that emerged so far and to get your help to identify the continuing priorities and new issues that should be emphasized in the final Status Reports and a State of the Neighborhood Report that will be presented to the City Council and Mayor.

The Seattle Planning Commission and the Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee, with DON and DPD, are working with neighborhood residents and business people to gather information to create snapshots of each neighborhood compared to 10 years ago. The status reports will help neighborhood advocates and the city recognize gaps and inform decisions about whether or how to update particular plans.
The Seattle Planning Commission and the Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee held the first round of two important community meetings in June and July. The public comments from those meetings will help inform the City’s decision about the need to update neighborhood plans that communities completed in 1998 and 1999.
This first meeting was an opportunity to learn about your neighborhood plan, work to implement it and the growth and change that has occurred. The neighborhood overview, data, and implementation matrix for those meetings are posted below.
The second round of meetings will be an opportunity to review reports that include your comments and document information about the status of neighborhoods.
