Zoned Out: Who Wins and Who Loses in the New Downtown Plan

Please join us for an exciting forum regarding a vision for Downtown Seattle that benefits Seattleites of all incomes. The Downtown Height & Density plan will change the city for generations to come. We believe Seattle should be a place where people of diverse incomes can live--and that the center of our city shouldn't become a place that only welcomes the wealthy.

In an era when the number of service jobs without living wages is increasing, and the amount of low-income housing is decreasing, and homelessness is rising, we need to remind the Mayor and City Council that the city belongs to everyone. Come to learn, share your vision, and most importantly, to take action on this issue!

Thursday, Feb. 23 from 6-8 pm

Gethsemane Lutheran Church, Fellowship Hall (911 Stewart St.)

Speakers include Sharon Lee, Low Income Housing Institute; Jim Diers, former director of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods and author of Neighbor Power: Building Community the Seattle Way; Linda Weedman, Downtown YWCA; and a Downtown service worker.
