Abundant & Affordable Housing

Walkable & Sustainable Communities

A Bold Vision for How Seattle Grows over the Next 20 Years

Seattle is at a crossroads.

We can continue with status quo policies that lock in high-cost, car-dependent, and exclusionary communities — or we can make bold, practical changes to our land use policies to create an affordable, equitable, and sustainable Seattle.

The Complete Communities Coalition is an alliance of community groups dedicated to realizing the future we need through the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update.

  • We believe Seattle needs more homes of all types, sizes, and shapes. We advocate for policies to address the housing shortage and ensure everyone has a home.

  • We support environmentally-responsible urban infill development to reduce sprawl, as well as the creation of green spaces and infrastructure to mitigate local climate change impacts and promote a healthy urban environment.

  • We recognize the impact and continued legacies of racist and classist housing and land use policies. We advocate for policies to repair these harms, desegregate neighborhoods, and reverse displacement, to ensure a just and inclusive Seattle for all residents.

  • We recognize the adverse health and safety effects of past decisions on where to direct growth and advocate for allowing more homes to be built off arterials and in every neighborhood across Seattle.

  • We aim to create connected, walkable and rollable neighborhoods with convenient access to jobs, schools, transit, amenities, and services, to foster equitable communities and reduce dependence on cars.
