Welcome to Downtown!

City Center Community Plan

The City Center is expected to experience considerable growth and change in the next 20 years, in part because of the anticipated growth of the Puget Sound region, but also because a significant portion of the area is a designated Regional Growth Center. This Community Plan is intended to help shape and direct that growth in a way that reflects the vision and desires of the people who live, work, learn, and play in the City Center, while acknowledging the role the City Center plays in the City as a whole, as well as the entire region. This plan is intended to provide a strategy to stimulate economic development, improve the livability of the neighborhoods, preserve the City Center’s unique identity and create community character, prioritize the provision of City services and investment in infrastructure, and provide the public with the opportunity to participate in shaping the future of the City Center.
