What's Happening in My Neighborhood?
DPD has several neighborhood projects and studies going at any one time.  To find out what's happening in your neighborhood, use one of the resources below.

Activity Locator
The locator allows you to view permitting activity in Seattle from July, 2005 to present using Microsoft's Virtual Earth mapping technology.

Design Review
The City of Seattle's Design Review Program provides a forum for citizens, developers and the City to review and guide the design of qualifying commercial and multifamily development projects. 

DPD GIS
Here you can build, view, and print map displays using online Seattle GIS data; includes an integrated property research tool.

Land Use Information Bulletin
Public notice regarding land use activities in Seattle—permit applications, decisions, and other land use actions—is provided twice a week in DPD's Land Use Information Bulletin.
