One Seattle Plan

What's Happening Now?

Final Mayor's Recommended One Seattle Plan (May 2025)

Legislation to adopt the One Seattle Plan Comprehensive Plan Update is now being considered by the City Council. The One Seattle Plan includes goals and policies, along with an updated growth strategy, that will guide where and how Seattle grows and invests in communities over the next 20 years toward becoming a more affordable, resilient, and equitable city.

The final Mayor's Recommended Plan and legislation has been introduced at the Select Committee on the Comprehensive Plan, with minor revisions, including boundary adjustments to selected Regional, Urban, and Neighborhood Centers.

Final Boundary Maps (May 2025)

The final Mayor’s Recommended Growth Strategy contained in the One Seattle Plan legislation retains all of the new and expanded centers in the proposed growth strategy map released in September 2024, but with minor adjustments to the boundaries of nine Neighborhood Centers, five Urban Centers, and one Regional Center. These changes reflect public comment received in fall 2024 along with additional analysis of local conditions, such as slopes and other critical areas, infrastructure constraints, historic buildings and resources, and limited connectivity and access to transit and amenities. Importantly, the Plan retains all 30 of the proposed Neighborhood Centers.

Permanent legislation to implement HB 1110

Permanent legislation to implement HB 1110 (Middle Housing bill) and other new state requirements are now being considered for adoption by the City Council. This legislation will replace more limited interim legislation approved by the Select Committee on May 21 (with full Council action on May 27). This legislation includes a complete update to Neighborhood Residential zoning to allow a greater variety of housing types, such as duplexes, four-plexes, townhomes, and stacked flats, in all neighborhoods. The legislation makes other changes to Neighborhood Residential and Low-rise zoning to comply with state law and to further City goals.

Upcoming Select Committee Meetings

The Select Committee on the Comprehensive Plan has scheduled meetings through September to consider this legislation. We will provide an overview to the committee on June 5 and a public hearing has been scheduled for June 23. For more information about these and other Select Committee meetings please visit City Council's Seattle Comprehensive Plan page.

A Racial Equity Toolkit (RET) is a process to guide the development of the goals and policies in this Plan in order to further racial equity. Conducting a RET is an iterative process of community engagement, analysis, policy development, and evaluation, with each step informing the next. With guidance from the Seattle Office of Civil Rights, we employed a RET process in developing the Mayor’s Recommended One Seattle Plan.
