Seattle Waterfront Plan

Since 2001 the Planning Commission has been working to help create a waterfront that will meet Seattle's challenging needs. Along with the Design Commission, the Planning Commission sponsored the first public forums to ask Seattleites for their vision of the waterfront. The Commission has continued to follow the process by assisting in the development of the plans and advising on the public process.
