Uptown
Uptown has long been a cultural and arts hub of Seattle both in and outside of the boundary of Seattle Center. This community of nearly 13,000 residents is expected to continue to grow substantially over the coming years and we want to come together to discuss what needs exist today, and how to ensure this continues to be a vibrant cultural and residential hub in the future.
- How can we expand opportunity for the arts?
- How can we respond to changing retail needs?
- How can we better connect Uptown to the neighborhoods around it?
These questions and more will be explored during this process. Please join our mailing list if you’re interested in being part of creating this future vision!

Take Our Uptown Survey!
As Uptown grows and changes, the City of Seattle is planning for a more equitable, vibrant, and resilient future for the neighborhood. This survey asks about how you experience Uptown today and your dreams for Uptown’s future. Your input will help guide the early phases and strategies for the Uptown Regional Center Plan.
