The Complete Communities Coalition advocacy priorities for the Seattle comprehensive plan update include:

  • Allow midrise housing (4-8 stories) and mixed uses in all residential areas within walking distance of frequent transit

  • Allow middle housing like triplexes, fourplexes, sixplexes, townhouses, and stacked flats throughout all residential areas

  • Create significant floor area, height, and density bonuses for affordable and social housing development
