Seattle's Comprehensive Plan
Long range land use planning is one of our best tools to address the climate emergency. Throughout July and August we will be educating community about Seattle's comprehensive plan.
Share The Cities have joined with other organizations to ask for an extension through the 3rd week in August to give everyone more time to advocate for a better plan. Please take action using the button below, Seattle! |
