YES TO PEOPLE
YES TO HOUSING
We want Seattle to be a welcoming community where everyone can thrive.
Our Mission
We envision a Puget Sound region where everyone has access to affordable housing options close to jobs, schools, and amenities.
We advocate for abundant, affordable housing and inclusive, sustainable communities across Puget Sound.
Together we can make housing more affordable for everyday people, undo decades of residential segregation, and fight the climate crisis.

Comprehensive Plan Comment Workshop on December 3
It's time to make your voice heard - because only you - yes, you- can create housing abundance! The city of Seattle is currently soliciting feedback on a major zoning update that could unlock tens of thousands of new homes for all incomes and family sizes. NIMBYs who don't want to share their neighborhoods are organizing against the proposed changes. This is why the city needs to hear from people like you who embrace housing abundance and want to welcome more homes and more neighbors to their community!
The update is complex and multi-layered. In this comment workshop we will guide you through the proposed changes, provide suggestions for talking points, and give you a space to formulate and submit your feedback.
Bringing your own laptop is recommended, but not required.
Who we are
Seattle YIMBY is a member-driven, volunteer-based organization. We are residents of Seattle. We are a mix of long-time residents and newcomers, renters and homeowners, business owners and employees, families and individuals, citizens and immigrants, commuters, bus riders, cyclists and pedestrians.
We always welcome new members and volunteers who want to join the movement for abundant housing, and bring their individual perspective and experience to the movement.
We want a more affordable and sustainable Seattle
We see friends, family, and coworkers priced out of our area. We see sprawl consuming acres of wilderness and increasing the number of cars on the road. And we see an alternative. Seattle can be an affordable and inclusive community. We can make Seattle a place where everyone has a home, and where a car isn't required for your everyday needs.
