We are launching a citywide community visioning and strategic planning process to shape the next five years for our Equitable Development Initiative (EDI). In partnership with community members, the EDI Advisory Board, and key stakeholders, this process will create an actionable roadmap that strengthens EDI’s mission: ensuring Seattle grows as a city where everyone across race, culture, and income can thrive.
Building on nearly a decade of community-driven investment and 75 funded projects, this next phase of EDI will:
- Identify shared goals, strategies, and measures of success to advance racial equity
- Prevent displacement
- Expand access to opportunity
The outcome will be a comprehensive five-year strategic plan grounded in community priorities, complete with clear goals, metrics, and an accountability framework to guide implementation and ensure continuous learning and improvement.
