Matt Hutchins to join the Seattle Planning Commission

This redlining map codified racial segregation and economic discrimination into our zoning code, shaping Seattle neighborhoods for nearly a century. Breaking the pattern of equity is the core work of the Seattle Planning Commission.

Cast’s MATT HUTCHINS TO JOIN THE SEATTLE PLANNING COMMISSION

On a personal note, I’ve been selected to join the Seattle Planning Commission. The Planning Commission advises the Mayor, City Council, and City departments on broad planning goals, policies, and plans for the physical development of the City. I’m going to do my best to focus our big picture planning efforts on fighting climate change, creating affordable housing, equitable development, and pushing for complete, walkable, vibrant neighborhoods throughout Seattle. I’m pretty excited!
