Seattle Center Arena
Review Status
On May 2, 2019, we reviewed the design development (90% design) for the Seattle Center Arena Development. This was our fifth review of the project. At this meeting we approved the design development phase with several conditions and recommendations.
Project Description
The project team is proposing to redevelop the existing arena located within Seattle Center for existing and future professional sports team, other sporting events, concerts, and shows. The redevelopment site includes the area surrounding the existing arena as well as the block bounded by 1st Ave N, Thomas St, Warren Ave, and John St. The existing arena, which is a designated landmark, will be expanded below grade to increase overall seating capacity. The loading area along Thomas St. will be redeveloped into an atrium and pedestrian plaza with parking and loading services located below grade.

When you attend a SDC meeting, we provide a time for members of the public to comment. We ask people to sign up when they attend a meeting - we use a sign in sheet to keep track of attendance and to see who wants to speak. We also use this sheet to send notice of future meetings on the project you came to follow. We generally limit comments to two minutes per person. When there are larger groups of people who want to speak on the same topic, we ask that the group appoint a spokesperson to speak for the group. We give groups up to five minutes for public comment. It is helpful to also submit your comment prior to the SDC meeting. This will allow more time for the commission to consider your comment. See below for more information.
Do you want to submit a written comment? Submit your written comments by emailing: SDC_Administration@seattle.gov; Please be sure to include the name of the project in the subject line. Please submit your comments prior to the day of the project review. This will allow more time for the commission to consider your comment.
