2025 Comprehensive Plan ("One Seattle Plan") Renewal Process
Overview
On January 6, 2025, the Mayor’s Office, in partnership with the Office of Planning and Community Development (OPCD), is expected to transmit two pieces of legislation on the Comprehensive Plan (“One Seattle Plan”) to the City Council for deliberation and adoption. The Council will work to amend this base legislation throughout the first 6 months of 2025.
What is the Comprehensive Plan?
Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan is a roadmap for where and how our city will grow and invest in our communities over the next 20 years and beyond.

Proposed Comprehensive Plan documents
King County's Vision 2050

Equitable Development Monitoring Program
- An ongoing source of data and analysis to inform work to reduce race-based disparities, advance equity, and combat displacement.
- Community Indicators: To gauge progress on housing affordability, neighborhood livability, transportation, and education and economic opportunity.
- Heightened Displacement Risk Indicators: To increase our understanding of displacement and detect heightened displacement risks.
Housing Choices
We have done significant work to understand the housing market and what types of new housing people want to see more of. The Market-rate Housing Needs and Supply Analysis (by BERK Consulting, 2021) provides detailed information on market-rate housing needs and supply today and over the next 20 years.
We also conducted significant outreach as part of the Housing Choices Initiative to understand the housing needs of people who live and work in Seattle and identify opportunities to shape market-rate housing development to serve these needs.
Feedback received as part of this work is summarized in the Housing Choices Public Engagement Summary.
