Volunteer to pick up litter in your neighborhood through Seattle Public Utilities’ (SPU) Adopt a Street program, and SPU will provide trash pick-up, bags, and pickers to use. This is a great way to help keep Seattle clean. bit.ly/3Ef2T8P

Public spaces are for everyone in our City. That's why we will continue efforts on top priorities encampments, where we are working directly with @CMDanStrauss, @KC_RHA, and community groups to support neighbors and connect those living unhoused with shelter and services.

Councilmember @CMDanStrauss and his Council colleagues signed a proclamation recognizing Samuel Assefa, the outgoing Director of @SeattleOPCD. Director Assefa, a recognized leader in urban planning, will be greatly missed.

Today we passed Bringing Business Home! Many of our most successful businesses were born out of garages. We need to support entrepreneurs, providing them the flexibility to operate out of their garages and grow into vacant storefronts.

I am introducing the Bringing Business Home bill to create flexibility for small businesses during the pandemic. Bringing Business Home recognizes that small businesses have been nimble and creative in adapting to challenging circumstances, but City regulations have not kept up.

Yonder Cider is one of many businesses working to survive during this pandemic. Bringing Business Home will offer small businesses some flexibility in navigating a path forward.

I was thrilled that in light of our legislation SDCI allowed Greenwood’s Yonder Cider to reopen their garage grab-and-go storefront last week. I joined Yonder at their reopening on Saturday and was pleased to see so many neighbors out supporting this fantastic small business.

My bill will make it easier for small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing flexibility from strict home occupancy regulations, allowing entrepreneurs to use their garage and homes to turn dreams into businesses and spring board our recovery.

It is these new businesses that will be filling in currently vacant store fronts once we emerge from the pandemic. Right now, supporting small businesses is what matters, not obsolete land use codes.

The Bringing Business Home “bill removes outdated land-use regulations that hinder the ability of our neighborhood businesses to recover from the devastating economic impacts of COVID-19." /1

Some of the most successful businesses and entrepreneurs got their start in garages. This proposal would allow small businesses to operate more easily out of a home by modifying some of the most restrictive requirements for home-based businesses to create a level playing field.
