Our Compromise Proposal to the City Council Regarding the "West Green Lake Neighborhood Center”

(See the download below.)

**PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME TO OUR LETTER TO THE COUNCIL IF YOU AGREE**

The Seattle City Council is beginning its consideration of the Mayor's One Seattle Plan, which includes the boundaries and definitions of the 30 proposed "Neighborhood Centers", to be adopted later this summer.

As you know from this website, we are in favor of increasing housing density while also preserving the invaluable, city-wide resource that is Green Lake.

When we met as a group with Dan Strauss, our District 6 Representative, on May 22nd, he suggested our next step was to draft a letter outlining detailed requested changes, including a map showing new zoning lines that align with our neighborhood goals. These goals are to 1) address the need for more housing and affordable housing, and 2) maintain a viable, unspoiled lake and park for future generations.

On June 12th, we submitted our compromise proposal. 

You can download and view our complete letter and map below.

Our compromise plan increases density within a quarter mile of a major transit stop, while also establishing a buffer to protect the lake from the impact of multi-story buildings and reduced green space.
