Housing Developments: #HALAyes HALA-baloo
#HALAyes Celebration Tomorrow!
Join the Seattle For Everyone Coaltion in saying #HALA-lujah for the accomplishments of 2017! Festivities run from 5:30-7:30 pm at the South Lake Union Discovery Center. RSVP here.
A new reason to celebrate: OPCD released final MHA EIS and Zoning Maps last week! Seattleites had a lot to say, from the Times to Capitol Hill to …possibly the courts? A few HDC members even have a project in the Central District MHA-ready! There’s plenty to talk about, we’ll keep you posted.
