In advance of a major update to Seattle's Comprehensive Plan, DPD is challenging citizens to describe in 150 words or less their vision of Seattle in 2030 or 2050. Descriptions should be sent to kristian.kofoed@seattle.gov.
The request for visions of a bright Seattle future is a jump-starter for the upcoming Seattle Comprehensive Plan update. The first Seattle Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1994. It serves as a guide for planning the city's growth. Infrastructure elements of the Comprehensive Plan include land use, transportation, housing, capital facilities, and utilities. Neighborhood planning also plays an important role.
Citizen visions of a 2030 or 2050 Seattle will be used to inspire the process. The kickoff public meeting "Seattle 2030 and Beyond" will discuss Seattle's future and the role of the Comprehensive Plan. The meeting will take place from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on November 17th at the Miller Community Center at 330 19th Ave E. Former Seattle Mayor Norm Rice will be the keynote speaker.
