Planning, Land Use & Zoning Meeting Cancellation

The Planning, Land Use, and Zoning Committee meeting scheduled for January 6, 2017 has been cancelled.

The next Planning Land Use and Zoning meeting, on January 19th at 2:00pm, includes a discussion of potential amendments for U District. Proposed amendments to be discussed will become publicly available next week; look for the notice in the Land Use Information Bulletin on Monday and a memo with more specifics will be available on the City Clerk’s website

We are hearing a lot about this proposal; consider reading this op-ed and article, both recently featured in the Seattle Times.

D4 Spotlight: Sand Point Arts & Cultural Exchange

Sand Point Arts and Cultural Exchange (SPACE) funds, facilitates, and promotes arts and cultural uses of Warren G. Magnuson Park for the public, serving diverse audiences and forging regional collaborations. 

Since 1994, SPACE has helped develop a vision for arts and culture at the park and has advocated for creative re-use of the buildings within the Sand Point Historic District. SPACE envisions thriving arts and cultural activities at Magnuson Park integrated with the community and the broader public.

We are so lucky to have such a cultural asset in the neighborhood! To learn more about SPACE, click here.

Democracy Vouchers Available Now

Earlier this week, the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission began distributing Democracy Vouchers to Seattle residents. Democracy Vouchers are a new way for Seattle residents to become more involved in city government - by donating to candidate campaigns and/or running for elected positions themselves.
 
If you are a registered voter in Seattle, check your mailbox - you may have already received your $100 in Democracy Vouchers. Seattle residents may only give Democracy Vouchers to participating candidates running for Seattle City Council or City Attorney in the 2017 elections, and may use their vouchers at any point until the election. The program will expand to include the Mayor’s race in 2021.

Yours in civil service,
