Let’s Improve Design Review Together
The Community’s Voice Matters
Virtual Community Meeting
WEDNESDAY, April 8, 2026, 5:00 - 6:30 PM
Design Review is currently paused as the city revises it to comply with state law and to align with Seattle’s new 20-year Comprehensive Plan.
The new framework now under discussion will shape Seattle for decades — how buildings meet the street, how neighborhoods evolve, and how residents, developers, and city staff work together.
This calls for thoughtful reform and meaningful public participation that requires bringing community representatives to the table now —as rules are being written — to help ensure a program that is balanced, effective, and widely supported.
This is your opportunity to learn why design review matters and how to engage in the Design Review Reboot Coalition’s effort to improve design review for everyone.

Did you know the 8 bus is the slowest and least reliable bus in the city? Despite its L8ness, it is still one of the most used routes in the county, directly connecting Queen Anne (Seattle Center), SLU, Cap Hill, and the Central District.
FixtheL8 is a community campaign that wants there to be an alternative to the snarling traffic of Denny Way. They are asking the city to install bus lanes along Denny Way. Seattle’s Mayor has asked for a design by April, and the campaign is currently in talks with them to make sure this quick build bus lane can have the most impact and serve the most people.
FixtheL8 would love to hear what you think of bus lanes on Denny. Find them on Bluesky, send an email (fixthel8@gmail.com), or chat with us at this Wednesday's meeting. Learn more on our website fixthel8.com

👉🏾 Our Regional Centers Planning efforts include areas such as Uptown and South Lake Union. As both of these areas grow and change, the City of Seattle is planning for a more equitable, vibrant, and resilient future for each neighborhood. Take our survey for both of these neighborhoods and let us know your thoughts and vision.
✨ Your input will help guide the early phases and strategies for both Regional Center Plans. These surveys will close on April 15, 2026.
