Vision

This is your city, and we can accomplish great things together. We envision a Seattle where every person of every background in every neighborhood has the opportunity to flourish and to shape our city’s future together. It’s a city where everyone belongs, with vibrant neighborhoods, great jobs, thriving businesses, a healthy environment, and abundant housing for people of all incomes and family sizes. And it’s a city where people have trust in government because public institutions work to protect the vulnerable, uplift working families, and invest in shared prosperity.

Values

1. Affordable, Abundant Housing in Thriving Neighborhoods
   Every person of every income should have access to a dignified life, including safe, stable housing that they can afford. Our neighborhoods should be vibrant, connected, and resilient places, where local businesses, culture, and community life thrive.
2. Safe Communities That Provide Security and Well-Being
   Everyone has a right to feel safe and secure. We should prioritize public health and community well-being, make sure our public spaces work for everyone, and invest in behavioral health, emergency shelter, and other services that actually address our homelessness crisis.
3. Shared Prosperity So Everyone Can Thrive
   Seattle can be a great place to live, work, and raise a family. We will take on the cost-of-living crisis and grow a prosperous economy that creates great jobs, lifts up community businesses, and attracts people and businesses from across the country.
4. Sustainable Transportation and Environmental Justice
   Seattle should have a sustainable, reliable transportation system that gets people where they want to go without needing to rely on a car. We have a responsibility to provide clean air, green public spaces, and climate resilience.
5. Inclusive and Accountable Governance
   The city belongs to its people. Governance should be transparent, responsive, and create opportunities for communities to shape policy and hold institutions accountable to achieve their goals. This extends to city employees, who deserve to feel supported, respected, and empowered to deliver exceptional services and innovate for the people of Seattle.
