Seattle's Comprehensive Plan

The major review of the Seattle Comprehensive Plan will shape how Seattle grows over the next 20 years.  We need your ideas to get this project started.  What's most important to you?  What excites you about Seattle's future?  What are the big challenges?

Update -- Major Review Schedule Change

City Council has directed DPD to take a phased approach to the Comprehensive Plan update because the state deadline for completing a review and adopting updates was moved to June 2015.  Final Council action on the update will likely happen in the first half of 2015.  Council may take action on some parts of the Plan earlier, as part of the annual amendment cycles in 2013 and 2014.  We will add further details about the schedule as they become available.
 
We will continue to provide opportunities for public engagement during the comprehensive plan update process. Watch our website, Facebook page, and Twitter feed (#SEA2030) to stay involved with this project.
 

Public Involvement Program

Seattle is undertaking a major periodic Review of the Comprehensive Plan as required by the Growth Management Act. This Act requires local governments to establish and broadly disseminate a public participation program. This Public Participation Program addresses how the City will meet the requirements for early and continuous public participation.
