<h4>What is the Seattle Comprehensive Plan?</h4>
<p>The Comprehensive Plan is a 20 year vision and roadmap for Seattle’s future. Our plan guides City decisions on where to build new jobs and houses, how to improve our transportation system, and where to make capital investments such as utilities, sidewalks, and libraries. Our Comprehensive Plan is the framework for most of Seattle’s big-picture decisions on how to grow while preserving and improving our neighborhoods.</p>
<h4>One Seattle Plan Comprehensive Plan Update (updated 2026)</h4>
<p>The One Seattle Plan will guide City decisions about where we locate housing and jobs, and where and how we invest in transportation, utilities, parks, and other public assets. Our goal is to make the city more equitable, livable, sustainable, and resilient for today's communities and future residents.</p>

<h4>Comprehensive Plan Core Values</h4>
<p>Our Comprehensive Plan helps protect our environment, quality of life, and economic development. Our plan is consistent with <a href="https://www.psrc.org/vision-2040" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vision 2040</a> and King County’s <a href="https://kingcounty.gov/depts/executive/performance-strategy-budget/regional-planning/CPPs.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Countywide Planning Policies</a><em>.</em></p>
<p><strong>The four core values of the Plan are:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Community: </strong>Developing strong connections between a diverse range of people and places</p>
<p><strong>Environmental Stewardship: </strong>Protect and improve the quality of our global and local natural environment</p>
<p><strong>Economic Opportunity and Security:</strong> A strong economy and a pathway to employment is fundamental to maintaining our quality of life</p>
<p><strong>Race and Social Equity: </strong>Limited resources and opportunities must be shared; and the inclusion of under-represented communities in decision-making processes is necessary</p>
<h4>Our plan’s urban village strategy supports the core values by:</h4>
<p>Directing growth to existing urban centers and villages.</p>
<p>Monitoring growth in locations where low-income households and people of color are at risk of displacement.</p>
<p>Contributing to the vibrancy of our neighborhood centers.</p>
<p>Reinforcing the benefits of City investments in transit, parks, utilities, community centers, and other infrastructures.</p>
<p>Guiding how the City will engage the public in future planning and decision making.</p>
