One Seattle Plan Zoning Update Information Sessions Underway

Last month, Mayor Bruce Harrell unveiled Zoning proposals to advance his Growth Strategy under the One Seattle Plan. This kicked off a series of in-person and virtual Information Sessions with opportunities to engage with our staff, ask questions about the proposed zoning, and learn more about how to provide your feedback. Watch our first virtual Information Session [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery&v=gEX2pGhdQEk ] and attend a future event nearest you.
