Design Review Reboot Update! 

The South Lake Union Community Council voted to sign onto the letter below, and formally support Design Review Reboot!  We also ask for your support as individual citizens, please consider adding your name to the letter HERE!

Dear Mayor Wilson and City Council Members:

Design Review shapes how Seattle grows and how its residents will live, work, and gather for generations. As reforms are drafted, we urge you to formally include community-chosen representatives at the table — alongside staff and development stakeholders — to ensure accountable, balanced, and lasting reform.

Growth and public engagement are not opposing goals. Seattle’s future depends on both.

On behalf of the,
Design Review Reboot Coalition and Its Supporters
