We’re starting the process of updating the City’s Environmental Critical Areas (ECA) code, and we want to hear from you. If you’ve been through the permitting process or have critical areas on your property, such as steep slopes, wetlands, or streams, your experience can help shape the updates.
There will be four listening sessions this month. As soon as we have the dates and times, we’ll post the information on our Environmentally Critical Areas Update web page.
Can’t make it? There are other ways to weigh in. Email your comments anytime to Chanda.Emery@seattle.gov, or join us at an open house tentatively planned for January 2027.
