The Seattle Times, April 17, 2024, Seattle Studied Dozens Of Sites For Housing Growth. These 24 got Picked
Those opinions could affect how Wedgwood and other Seattle areas grow, because the city is collecting input right now about a major update of its Comprehensive Plan — its road map for the next 20 years. Among other things in his draft plan, Mayor Bruce Harrell is proposing 24 locations for new “neighborhood centers” with denser housing close to shops and services. That’s after considering more than twice as many possible locations.
By allowing apartments of three to six stories to be built within a couple blocks of key intersections, the new nodes would supplement Seattle’s longstanding “urban centers” and “urban villages” — the mini-downtowns in areas like Ballard and Columbia City where the city has directed growth on a larger scale since the 1990s.
