Fort Lawton Redevelopment Public Comment Session

Seattle stands at a crossroads. After years of planning, the City of Seattle and its partners will transform Fort Lawton, a former military site, into a vibrant community, creating permanently affordable homes for up to 500 families while protecting 22 acres of public park land and green space. Veterans, seniors, and families will gain affordable housing, with real pathways to homeownership that build generational wealth, stability, and opportunity. However, Fort Lawton needs your voice at a crucial upcoming public comment session.

The City of Seattle is hosting a public comment session on the Fort Lawton Redevelopment Plan where you can share your thoughts and feedback with city representatives. We need you to show up and tell the City of Seattle that you support this project. Consider sharing your personal connection to housing affordability or reflect on the importance of creating homeownership opportunities for families who have been systematically excluded.
