To access more information about any proposal, use the City’s link https://cosaccela.seattle.gov/Portal/welcome.aspx and use either the street address or the project number. Look for Master Use Permit or Project number with EG (early guidance) or MUP designation in the list and click on it. You will be directed to a page where you can click on Attachments to see all project documents, such as architect’s plans, tree surveys etc.

If you wish to comment on a project proposal, please review the plans, and make comments related to design. Include the address and project number. Watch for Departures/Variances.
