  • Clearly Establish a Relationship Between Transit, Urban Development and Associated Density, Contributing to Overall Sustainability
    Clearly establish a relationship between transit, urban development and associated density, contributing to overall sustainability. Provide structure for establishing accessibility, legibility and wayfinding in the downtown core. Enhance and encourage business. Provide a process to evaluate actual realistic physical alternatives and assess their issues and opportunities related to future growth. Communities worldwide have successfully implemented urban design frameworks Seattle is not alone in contemplating this process. Other communities that have successfully produced or included in their coordinated planning processes a physical or urban design framework include Austin, Charlotte, Cincinnati, New York, North Miami Beach, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, Auckland and many others. The impact has been more than aesthetic: Wall Street Journal’s 2009 Market Watch: Best Cities for Business Top 10 Cities all have downtown urban design plans, design guidelines, preservation guidelines and a robust design review process. Thank you for your work on these and other critical design issues impacting the future of our city. AIA Seattle strives to provide a strong voice for quality design and the built environment in Seattle and across the Puget Sound region. As architects and design professionals committed to forward-thinking design and comprehensive visioning processes, our organization and its members would be pleased to offer our leadership and support to an effort to develop a forward-thinking urban design framework

  • November 8, 2018 the Hon. Lorena Gonzalez the Hon. Lisa Herbold
    November 8, 2018 The Hon. Lorena Gonzalez The Hon. Mike O’Brien The Hon. Lisa Herbold The Hon. Rob Johnson The Hon. Debora Juarez The Hon. Bruce Harrell The Hon. Kshama Sawant The Hon. Teresa Mosqueda The Hon. Sally Bagshaw Dear Council Members, We have been deeply concerned about, and have advocated for, police accountability and reform for years. We stand behind the Seattle Community Police Commission (CPC), and while we support workers’ rights and unions, we urgently request that you reject the tentative contract between the City and the Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG). Many CPC members are community leaders and subject matter experts who have led the advocacy for accountability and reform for decades. In addition to their experience and expertise, the CPC previously engaged literally thousands of community members, from all racial groups, and in eighteen languages and dialects, to hear the concerns of community members from communities that have had additional barriers to police services and accountability and/or have disproportionately experienced biased policing and excessive use of force. The CPC has been the most widely respected and primary voice of the community in the reform process. The CPC had been tasked in 2013 with reviewing and making recommendations on the accountability system, which they did systematically and comprehensively from 2013 – 2014. They issued recommendations in 2014 which became the basis for the landmark 2017 accountability ordinance. The CPC has summarized in the attached chart among the most troubling of the many discrepancies between the CPC’s recommendations as incorporated in the ordinance unanimously passed by the City Council, just one year ago.

  • May 17, 2021 Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda Seattle City Council 600
    May 17, 2021 Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda Seattle City Council 600 Fourth Avenue Seattle, WA 98104 Dear Councilmember Mosqueda: We write to you today to urge you and your colleagues on the Seattle City Council to dedicate a majority of the new revenue flowing into the General Fund – both from local tax sources and from federal dollars allocated to the City of Seattle in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) – to impactful investments to address the continuing and growing crisis of people living unsheltered in our city. In addition to the tragic human loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic impact to families and individuals, businesses, non-profits, and governments has in some cases been unprecedented. We recognize that as a result, the Council is balancing the needs of many interests competing for limited public resources. Placing one priority in front of others is a difficult decision and should only be made if that priority is a city-wide issue impacting the most vulnerable in our community. Unsheltered homelessness clearly meets this test. Five and a half years ago, the City of Seattle and King County formally declared a state of civil emergency for homelessness. One of the stated objectives of the civil emergency order was to request additional federal and state assistance to address homelessness. While this was not the anticipated route by which state and federal assistance would be granted to the City of Seattle, ARPA and the recently adopted state budget allocate state and federal funding to the City’s General Fund at an amount we have not seen in a generation.

  • In the Superior Court of Washington for King County
    IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON FOR KING COUNTY NO. 20-2-10455-8 SEA IN RE THE MATTER OF RECALL CHARGES AGAINST CITY OF RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR SEATTLE MAYOR JENNY DURKAN RECONSIDERATION AND CROSS- (HARVEY) MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION I. INTRODUCTION Previously, this Court dismissed all but one of the recall charges against Jenny Durkan, the mayor of Seattle, and amended such charge to proceed more narrowly. Mayor Durkan filed a motion for reconsideration on July 14, notably filing the motion at 4:29 pm and setting this Court’s consideration for such motion for the very next day. This Court requested briefing from the petitioners, Elliott Harvey et al., who therefore submit this paperwork, both responding to Mayor Durkan’s motion, and filing a cross-motion for reconsideration, asking the Court to reconsider striking Charge C and to consider widening the scope of Charge B to encompass part of Charge E. II. RESPONSE TO STATEMENT OF FACTS Mayor Durkan begins with a lengthy “Statement of Facts,” exceeding five pages in a fourteen-page brief. Mayor Durkan therein argues a number of so-called facts that are misleading or untrue. The mayor’s “Statement of Facts” demonstrates very well the reason why Washington Courts are not to weigh the facts when ruling on a recall petition. As this Court noted in its order of July 10, 2020: [T]he role of courts in the recall process is highly limited, and it is not for us to decide whether the alleged facts are true or not. It is the voters, not the courts, who will ultimately act as the fact finders.

  • ` 2019 Seattle Subway General Election Endorsements We're
    ` 2019 Seattle Subway General Election Endorsements We’re excited to announce our 2019 general election endorsements. It was great to see so many of the candidates we endorsed in the primary make it to the general election. Seattle Subway focuses on candidates who we feel will best represent environmental values and stand up for progress on transit and land use issues. To select candidates, we try to take in as much information as possible. Their resumes, voting records, performance in forums such as the MASS forums we co-hosted, and their responses to our candidate questionnaires. We reconsider our endorsements going into the general, endorsements are a process and we learn more about the candidates as the races progress. In the general election, we are expanding our endorsements to include key races across King County and initiatives at the state level. Unlike the primary, we will endorse in every city council race because one of the candidates will hold office and is, invariably, at least a little better than the other on the issues we care about. Our general election endorsements: State Initiatives Initiative 976: Limits on Motor Vehicle Taxes and Fees Vote No Sure, Tim Eyman is a thief and a fraud but his initiatives are also terrible. His latest attempt to defund transportation progress across Washington State would mean massive cuts to ST3 as well as voter approved projects across the state. Eyman doesn’t care how much damage he does to infrastructure in general if he can also do damage to transit expansion. It would be great if this was the last time we ever had to mention him.

  • Treepac Newsletter - May 2018
    TreePAC Newsletter - May 2018 Protect Seattle's Trees with a new Tree Ordinance! As we all know, Seattle is growing faster now than ever before. Unfortunately as a part of this growth, our long- cherished Urban Forest is taking the brunt of this activity, sometimes in the name of affordable housing, sometimes in the form of illegal clearcutting - but most often in the form of developer profits and irresponsible, unregulated building practices that usually levels everything to the ground on a given lot and then builds out to the absolute property limit. It's easy to see what happens to the trees and habitat – they are gone forever. If left unchecked, our Seattle urban forest and tree canopy will be nearly gone in a matter of years, probably less. This is not exaggeration – read the recent Seattle Tree Regulations Research Project report from March 31, 2017 for proof. By the City's own words, we are not doing nearly enough to protect existing trees and stop these irresponsible development practices, and we are not following the City's own goal of creating a 30% canopy by 2037 – in fact, quite the opposite. However – all is not lost. Several local groups including TreePAC, Friends of Urban Forests, Plant Amnesty, and the Seattle Urban Forestry Commission have begun building a city-wide coalition to update, implement and enforce a true and effective Seattle Tree Ordinance – to enhance and replace the Interim Ordinance of 2009, which was never meant to be permanent and has languished since those earlier efforts. Councilmember Rob Johnson has also recognized the challenges facing our urban forest and has proposed an initial framework to address updating the Tree Ordinance.
