Uptown
Uptown has long been a cultural and arts hub of Seattle both in and outside of the boundary of Seattle Center. This community of nearly 13,000 residents is expected to continue to grow during the coming years. We want to come together to discuss what needs there are today, and how to ensure Uptown continues to be a vibrant cultural and residential hub in the future.
How can we expand opportunity for the arts?
How can we respond to changing retail needs?
How can we better connect Uptown to the neighborhoods around it?
These questions and more will be explored during this process. To be a part of creating this future vision, please join our mailing list.
Upcoming Engagement Opportunities
Take Our Second Survey!
A new survey is now available. We're looking for your feedback on the draft vision, goals, and policies for this Plan. The survey also includes a proposed transportation project list and map to explore and provide comments. We’re looking forward to your input.
Prior Engagement
In Summer 2026, we held two community workshops, gathered public input through a survey, held various focus groups, hosted an artist installation event, along with other conversations with community and stakeholders. A summary of what we’ve heard will be available soon.
Artist Installation Engagement
Two artists were selected to create pieces to help engage the community through art to help inform the plans, highlighting the importance of the artist communities in Uptown and South Lake Union. The installations were active August 10-18 and a summary of what we heard will be included in the upcoming community engagement report.
