Neighborhoods & Council Districts

The City of Seattle is divided into seven Council Districts, with one Councilmember representing each district. There are also two citywide Councilmembers representing the entire city. Find your Councilmember and Council District by entering your address into City Council's District search tool.

The City of Seattle recently updated the boundaries of its seven City Council Districts to give each district approximately the same number of residents and balance representation in city government. These changes are based on newly gathered Census data that the Seattle Redistricting Commission used to adjust the boundaries.

Neighborhood Snapshots

In 2023, the Department of Neighborhoods contracted with community-driven, urban planning and design firm Smash the Box to overhaul the existing Neighborhood Snapshots to accurately reflect the new Redistricting boundaries and council Districts, update the socio-economic and demographic data, and include top-spoken languages and sub-neighborhoods for each neighborhood. Check out our revised Neighborhood Snapshots.

Neighborhood Boundaries

The neighborhood areas for the Snapshots are based on the Community Reporting Areas (CRAs). CRAs are combinations of census tracts that analysts at the City use to summarize census data. CRAs are not necessarily the same boundaries that people in the city think of for their neighborhoods and CRAs are not official neighborhood, political, or administrative geographies. Boundaries for CRAs can be accessed on Seattle GeoData.
