Mission & Goals
The Montlake Community Club (MCC) works to maintain and nurture the natural environment and history of Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood. The object of the MCC is to maintain and improve the Montlake neighborhood. The MCC board consists of volunteer MCC members. All residents, property owners and business operators, 18 years of age or older, with street addresses in the Montlake neighborhood are members of the Montlake Community Club.
Major concerns with plan and process
Lack of direct notice to residents from the City of Seattle and so far no opportunity for true community involvement to create a plan that works for all.
A proposal vastly out of scale with the neighborhood and our small business district particularly relative to other proposed Neighborhood Centers.
A plan that appears oblivious to the Montlake neighborhood’s inclusion on the Department of the Interiors National Registry of Historic Places.
Zoning that will likely result in incongruous and haphazard implementation entirely inconsistent with the thoughtful, human-scaled urban redevelopment Seattle was once known for.
A reduction in tree canopy, landscape and natural habitat combined with an increase in hardscape, impervious surfaces, and summer temperatures.
Significant zoning changes are coming to Montlake
As part of the One Seattle Plan and proposed rezoning to increase housing supply and affordability, every lot in Montlake is affected.

This is the biggest change to Montlake in its 100+ year history.
New Washington State law HB1110 requires new zoning for 3- and 4-story multi-unit housing on almost every residential lot in Seattle.
The Mayor’s One Seattle Plan proposes zoning for 4- and 5-story apartments on 24 blocks in Montlake as a newly proposed Neighborhood Center.
The One Seattle Plan is under review by City Council and open to changes and improvements with community input.
