South Lake Union
South Lake Union (SLU) Urban Center Planning begins Fall 2025!
SLU has seen more change in the last 20 years than any other area of our city and this plan will explore what the future holds for this evolving community. SLU is the most diverse of all our Regional Centers and has evolved as the epicenter for Seattle’s Tech industry. SLU also has a rich maritime history and offers some of our greatest public access to Lake Union. We look forward to diving into this process with you all. Please join our mailing list if you’re interested in being part of this planning process.
Design Festival
SLU Planning kicked off in August 2025 at the Seattle Design Festival where we heard from hundreds of you regarding your memories of SLU and hopes for its future. You can still engage in this ongoing interactive installation by leaving a voicemail with either a memory or a hope for what you’d like to see in this community in years to come.
