C A P I TO L H I L L 2 0 2 0 Capitol Hill 2020 is an economic direction for Capitol Hill as the neighborhood experiences tremendous growth and opportunity. The plan on the following pages seeks to preserve the neighborhood’s progressive nature as it makes bold moves toward the future.

“Capitol Hill is growing and changing at a rapid rate. It is critical we have

a plan designed by the people who live and work

here to help manage, respond, and adapt to this

growth.”

– Jill Cronauer, Hunters Capital & Co-Chair, Capitol Hill

Chamber of Commerce

“The goal is to preserve the progressive, gritty, weird, and unique buildings and culture

of the neighborhood”

– David Meinert, owner, Lost Lake, Big Mario’s, Comet Tavern, and Onto Entertainment

C O R E VA L U E S

ConveneAdvocate on behalf of Capitol Hill for a healthy and robust neighborhood. Capitol Hill embodies many citywide issues regarding mixed land uses, crime prevention density, affordability, and neighborhood character. Community conversations are lively when our community comes together. Capitol Hill needs a neighborhood voice engaged in the current issues that is action-oriented and establishes a collaborative environment to work with the City, and other partners on issues.

EquitySupport a strong and diverse community with access to opportunity for all. Leverage our collective resources and engage partners to preserve and expand housing options for all family sizes and incomes, and to discourage displacement of viable small businesses that serve community needs. Our diverse community shares their culture, views, and experience with each other without threat and shapes policies and investments that impact their neighborhood.

CommunityLeverage and support the assets of Capitol Hill’s unique culture to encourage exchange of ideas and stabilize communities. Many have strong feelings about Capitol Hill’s neighborhood character, and in the face of so much change, preserving this character is challenging. Ensure neighborhood harmony by coordinating events,

investments, and opportunities with neighborhood interests. Debate is welcome, but all voices are heard.

ProsperitySustain and grow Capitol Hill’s social and economic vibrancy as a unique Seattle urban neighborhood with shared prosperity. Capitol Hill has a lively and positive reputation, but opportunities exist to tell this story more effectively. Maintain a positive culture within the neighborhood and a positive perception on challenging issues such as accessibility, parking, nightlife activity, family friendliness, LGBTQ friendliness, and affordability.

Embrace changes without losing the vibe

“Capitol Hill is one of the most exciting neighborhoods in Seattle and the place I call home. There are great challenges and great opportunities in such a dynamic neighborhood and the key to addressing both is to engage the community itself. The Capitol Hill 2020 plan does just that by bringing together a diverse group of community members and stakeholders to establish a vision for the neighborhood’s future.”

– Ed Murray, Mayor of Seattle

B O L D M O V E S

Evolve the ChamberGrow the Chamber into a larger representative neighborhood business leadership organization to guide progress. The organization

will take a leadership role in citywide issues that are exemplified on Capitol Hill, such as office space, cultural displacement

because of loss of affordability, changing demographics and gentrification, creating appropriately sized spaces for small

businesses, and incentives to support desirable uses and tenants. The Chamber of Commerce will lead this move and gain broad

community endorsement of an effective neighborhood leadership organization by keeping diverse interests engaged.

Clean and Safe DistrictIncrease and expand cleaning and safety services throughout the Hill. The current Broadway BIA’s clean and safe program only

serves Broadway. Pike-Pine and other areas have significant waste management and safety issues as well. Clean and safe services

are sporadic and uncoordinated outside of the current BIA. Broad neighborhood challenges include waste management, graffiti,

litter, safety issues for workers and patrons bullying, and so forth. Consistency in cleaning, policing, human services, and policy is

necessary. Public spaces must be cleaner and safer to function effectively in this dynamic and dense neighborhood.

Prepare for GrowthSupport the Hill through imminent and necessary changes to the neighborhood while protecting and preserving our unique cultural

assets. Capitol Hill is the densest neighborhood north of San Francisco, with many “downtown” issues yet without many of down-

town’s resources or near its level of coordination. Capitol Hill currently lacks adequate neighborhood capacity to coordinate and

communicate the multitude of happenings occurring in the neighborhood’s physical environment. A community-wide understand-

ing of current needs for goods, services, and housing will support appropriate economic expansion within the neighborhood.

Vital & Active RetailBalance nighttime and daytime neighborhood vitality as well as major regional events in Capitol Hill that draw thousands of people,

but often appear quite separate from the neighborhood and its identity. Coordinate and develop programs that serve new and

existing businesses in Capitol Hill targeted at increasing access to the neighborhood for all.

Nightlife – Ensure that Capitol Hill’s vibrant nightlife scene is safe and healthy for patrons and workers alike. Despite its lively

nightlife scene, Capitol Hill currently lacks adequate capacity to coordinate strategic efforts to promote economic development

and protect affordability.

Retail/Office – Recruit and retain retail and offices to make daytime on the Hill as active as the nighttime. Advocate for business

expansion through increased office uses and an array of retailers to help balance Capitol Hill as an active 24-hour neighborhood.

Events – Work with major event producers to manage neighborhood impacts for everyone’s benefit. Showcase positive activities

in Capitol Hill’s public spaces, including both small gatherings and signature events (like Capitol Hill Block Party and Pride Festival).

Capitol Hill’s range of events, of local and regional scope, have a myriad positive and negative impacts on neighborhood businesses

and residents, both during and after the events themselves. These challenges distract from other economic development activities

and create challenges for the City and neighborhood.

Arts – Preserve and protect the arts culture for patrons and artists. Capitol Hill is home to the densest arts neighborhood in

Washington. As the neighborhood experiences rapid change, existing arts organizations are under real threat of being displaced by

rising rents and redevelopment. Capitol Hill is increasingly perceived as being in danger of losing its soul.
