Environmental Impact Statement
What is an Environmental Impact Statement?
An EIS provides information about potential environmental impacts and mitigating measures from a proposal to inform the decision-making process. The following documents provide information from the scoping stage, draft version, and final version.
The FEIS for the One Seattle Plan was released on January 30, 2025. The FEIS responds to comments on the Draft EIS and analyzes the potential impacts of a Preferred Alternative. A 14-day appeal period began on January 30 and ended on February 13. Six appeals to the FEIS were filed in February and they were all dismissed by the Hearing Examiner on April 11, 2025.
