What is the Seattle Comprehensive Plan?

The Comprehensive Plan is a 20-year vision and roadmap for Seattle's future. Our plan guides City decisions on where to build new jobs and houses, how to improve our transportation system, and where to make capital investments such as utilities, sidewalks, and libraries. Our Comprehensive Plan is the framework for most of Seattle's big-picture decisions on how to grow while preserving and improving our neighborhoods. To view our current Comprehensive Plan, and learn more about the Plan, visit the Office of Planning and Community Development's site.

As a volunteer advisory body sharing expertise on planning and development issues, the Planning Commission stewards the development of Comprehensive Plan updates. This page is a central location for the Commission's ongoing support for the Comprehensive Plan Update. You'll find recommendations, and related context documents here.
