Overview "This is a unique opportunity. It’s not every day we have a chance to redevelop more than 30 acres of federal land in the heart of Seattle. We will be reaching out and getting as many views as possible as we plan for the future of this remarkable site.” —Mayor Nickels
BACKGROUND The Army named the City of Seattle the Local Reuse Authority (LRA), responsible for the redevelopment of Fort Lawton. The City is facilitating public involvement to create a plan that adheres to federal guidelines while ensuring Fort Lawton becomes a livable and diverse mixed-income community, balancing all of the priorities while appropriately fitting into the surrounding neighborhood. The redevelopment plan will balance several priorities, including open space, heron habitat, market-rate homes and housing for formerly homeless individuals and families.
