Historical Note
The Department of Community Development administered the City's
comprehensive plan and provided direction and support for the City's physical
and economic development through community planning. DCD was established in
1969 and assumed the responsibilities of the City Planning Commission and the
Urban Renewal Program. In 1972, the Office of Economic Development was created
in the Department to provide information to businesses that were expanding or
relocating in Seattle. DCD was the lead agency for implementing various types
of grant funded projects, such as Neighborhood Improvement Program, Targeted
Neighborhood Assistance Program, and Neighborhood Development Program. DCD was
abolished in 1992 and its programs were relocated in the Department of
Neighborhoods, Department of Housing and Human Services, Planning Department,
and other agencies. DCD records include material from the City Planning
Commission, Zoning Commission, Metropolitan Arts Commission, Board of
Adjustment, and Urban Renewal Program.
Correspondence, memoranda, plans, reports, meeting minutes, agendas, and
other material relating to the development of the Washington State Convention
and Trade Center (WSCTC). The files were kept by the Department of Community
Development and include correspondence and reports transmitted between the
Board of Directors for the WSCTC and Department employees, as well as staff
from the Department of Construction and Land Use, the Parks Department, the
Mayor and the Mayor's Office, Council Members, Engineering Department, and
others. Along with the Board, the WSCTC also had a Design Committee. Records
also document the planning, site selection, and development of the Trade
Center, as well as community, street, housing and design concerns.
Records are open to the public.
