2013 – 14 Annual Amendments to the Seattle Comprehensive Plan
The City’s Comprehensive Plan, Toward a Sustainable Seattle, is a 20-year vision and roadmap for Seattle’s future. The plan guides City decisions on where to add new jobs and houses, how to improve our transportation system, and where to invest in utilities, sidewalks, and open space. The Comprehensive Plan is the framework for most of Seattle’s big-picture decisions on how to grow while preserving and improving our neighborhoods. The Comprehensive Plan meets the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act and helps nurture our environment, quality of life, and economic development.
