About the Commission
The Seattle Disability Commission advises the Mayor, City Council, and City departments about issues of importance to people with disabilities, recommends policies, practices, and legislation to the City in matters affecting the concerns of people with disabilities, and encourages understanding among people with various disabilities as well as between people with disabilities and the larger Seattle community.
The City of Seattle encourages everyone to participate in its services and activities. For disability accomodations, materials in alternate formats, or accessibility information, contact (206) 684-4500, TTY 7-1-1 at your earliest opportunity. Providing at least 72 hours notice will help ensure accessibility; sign language interpreting requests may take longer.
