Complete Communities Coalition

Futurewise co-chairs the steering committee of the Complete Communities Coalition (CCC), an alliance of affordable housing advocates, environmental organizations, community-based organizations, nonprofit developers, urbanists, and the local business community.

Our coalition is all united on one thing: planning a roadmap for a vibrant livable Seattle that works for everyone. The CCC is dedicated to fostering an affordable, equitable, and sustainable Seattle through a transformational One Seattle Comprehensive Plan Update, seeking to guide Seattle towards a future with abundant housing and inclusive growth as we plan for the next 20 years.

Latest Updates

This September marked a major milestone for the Seattle Comprehensive Plan. The proposal cleared its biggest hurdles, wrapping up committee work with a major public hearing, and  votes on amendments that shaped it into its boldest, most ambitious form.

Many of the amendments we fought for were incorporated in some way. Now we await final approval from the full council, which is expected by the end of the year.

We’re committed to a future Seattle where–no matter where you live or how much you make–everyone has access to complete, connected communities with abundant, affordable housing in walkable and sustainable neighborhoods.

How we’ll get there:

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

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

  • Create significant floor area, height, and density bonuses for affordable and social housing development and provide incentives for stacked flats and preserving and planting trees.

  • Allow corner stores citywide and increase access for childcare, services and businesses in every neighborhood.
