Overview of the Collection
Historical NoteThe Neighborhood Planning Office (NPO) was established in 1995 as a direct result of the City's adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. The plan required development of neighborhood plans within four years to improve the quality of life consistent with neighborhood goals and City policies. The neighborhood plans were development through a collaborative process involving City planning staff and neighborhood associations. The NPO was sunset in December 1998 and its functions were transferred to the Department of Neighborhoods which is now responsible for facilitating, monitoring, and coordinating implementation of the adopted plans. Content DescriptionThe series consists of demographic and land use profiles of nearly 30 Seattle neighborhoods compiled by the Office of Management and Planning for the Neighborhood Planning Office.
