This Rule requires developers to begin conversation with community members before building project designs are complete. On this page find guidance about the process along with resources to implement it.

If you have questions or would like to speak with a staff member, email DREarlyOutreach@seattle.gov. Starting in 2026 the Seattle Office of Planning and Community Development will manage this work.
