Part of the Seattle Office of Economic Development’s Only in Seattle Initiative, the BIA Assistance Program provides training and technical assistance to business districts throughout the city in forming, managing, and updating Business Improvement Areas. For more information about Only in Seattle or the BIA Assistance Program, contact the Office of Economic Development at [email protected] or 206.684.8090 or www.seattle.gov/economicdevelopment. Spring 2012 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY What are BIAs? BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREAS (BIAs) are funding mechanisms for business district revitalization and management. Specifically, the mechanism is an assessment collected from businesses and/or properties within defined boundaries. The funds collected are used to provide services for the mutual benefit of the businesses and properties being assessed. The concept of business district management funded through mandatory assessments has been around for many years, and gained wide popularity during the 1990s. Under one name or another, well over 1,000 such districts exist throughout the United States, with many more in Canada and throughout the world. BIAs include programs and services such as marketing, public area maintenance, security, parking, streetscape improvements, and professional management. Each BIA has a ratepayers advisory board made up of ratepayers within the BIA boundary. Creating a BIA In Seattle, BIAs are enacted by the City Council, using the authority of state law (RCW 35.87A) and the city charter.

  • Go for a Hike (In the City) Healthy Environment Stories
    Go for a Hike (in the City) Healthy Environment Stories Are you looking for a place to connect with nature or just relax but can’t make a trip to the mountains? Try a trail right in the city! Seattle parks are home to some 96 miles of “soft” trails in forested, beach, bluff, and meadow areas where you can walk, hike, run, and in some cases ride trail bikes. The U.S. Forest Service has recognized trails for their recreational value since the 1930s, and for their contributions to our health and well-being since the 1960s. The popularity of trails continues to increase. They provide access to environmentally sensitive areas while protecting those areas themselves by encouraging people to stay on their groomed surfaces. At Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR), Chukundi “Trails Guy” Salisbury has tended, created, and overseen our trails for the last 17 years. Asked what he thinks are the main reasons people use and love their trails, Salisbury says without hesitation, “to get out into the forests and green spaces of the city, to walk or otherwise exercise, and because they’re free and accessible – there are trails in parks in every corner of the city.” In 2011, Salisbury brought his brain child to life by creating the Youth Green Corps, a nine-month annual program that recruits youth between the ages of 18 and 24, trains them in trail construction and maintenance, and provides them with a stipend. Many of the youth are homeless, disengaged or from underserved communities, and the program provides them with direction, education, life skills, a love of the outdoors, and a path to a green career.
