Seattle approves long-delayed Comprehensive Plan, Phase 2 set for 2026

(The Center Square) – The Seattle City Council unanimously adopted its Comprehensive Plan on Tuesday, outlining the city’s growth and development goals through 2044, with Phase 2 scheduled to begin in 2026.

A city’s comprehensive plan serves as a long-term road map for how the city will grow over the next 20 years and beyond.

It guides decisions on where housing and jobs will be located, as well as how and where the city invests in transportation, utilities and other public assets.

The newly-adopted comprehensive plan comes nearly one year after it was due by the state in December 2024.

Ahead of Tuesday’s approval, the city council held 17 committee meetings and four public hearings since Mayor Bruce Harrell initially proposed his “One Seattle” draft plan in March. The vote was delayed for additional environmental review of the updated plan, which was passed unanimously out of committee in September.
