Seattle City Council fast-tracks $17.5M homelessness shelter expansion while Comprehensive Plan Phase 2 public hearings begin

The Council is dominated by a two-bill shelter-expansion package (CB 121184 and CB 121185) moving on an expedited timeline, with committee votes of 3-0 on April 7 and full Council votes scheduled for April 14. The Comprehensive Plan Select Committee held its first public hearing on land use and zoning amendments (CB 121173) with deeply divided testimony from approximately 50 speakers. The Finance Committee also received a substantive briefing on the City-Tribal government-to-government framework. The retained record draws almost entirely from meetings on April 6-7, 2026.
