The Phinney Ridge Community Council (PRCC) is a volunteer, not-for-profit organization that tracks issues such as public safety, transportation, transit, land use, zoning, city budget priorities, capital improvements, parks, open space use and other civic issues.
The PRCC initiates communication with elected officials, city departments, other community councils and civic organizations to ensure our neighborhood shares in opportunities for public input and resources.
The PRCC is a resource for sharing ideas, concerns and for building coalitions.5

Recording of 4/24/24 Zoom Meeting Available
Passcode: ZH3g4&*J
Phinney and Green Lake Community Councils co-hosted a ZOOM meeting with City Planners about the One Seattle Comprehensive Plan and changes proposed for zoning and land use regulations in our neighborhoods. Use the link above to hear a recording of the meeting. Many questions emerged about the new 'Neighborhood Centers' mapped at 65th/Phinney and in Tangletown. Other questions were varied but touched on the liklihood of property tax increases as a result of allowing buildings up to 5 and 6 stories in the new Neighborhood Centers. Questions concerned how zoning regulations will change as a result of the state legislature passing HB1110 last year that allows between 4 and 6 units on every residentially zoned lot (i.e., the former Single Family zones now called NR zones.)
See Map of expanded Urban Centers and Neighborhood Centers in District 6 on the Seattle Comp Plan Update Info page. This includes proposed center at 65th/Phinney, Tangletown and the Winona area near Green Lake. Community members raised questions about the appropriateness of these locations for increased density.
