Mayoral Forum Candidates will weigh in on the Allied Arts Grow Gracefully Vision for Seattle
The Question is Not IF Seattle Should Grow, It’s How…
How can we grow in a way to benefit everyone?
Learn how candidates will respond to critical livability issues such as historic preservation, great urban design, support of the arts and artist live/work housing. The Grow Gracefully Vision is centered upon the core belief that growth should make Seattle more livable, a city we love even more, not less.

Allied Arts of Seattle was founded in 1954 as the Beer & Culture Society and is most known as the organization that helped preserve Pike Place Market, initiated legislation to landmark and stimulate the dramatic rebirth of Pioneer Square, fostered the creation of the Seattle Arts Commission, introduced the Constitution of the Arts in the 1990’s to address areas in need of attention and change in civic management of the arts and launched the Waterfront for All Campaign in 2002 to create Seattle’s next great civic space. Our Grow Gracefully Vision for Seattle reflects the legacy work of Allied Arts.
Forterra – For more than 25 years, their dedication to making our region healthy, vibrant and resilient has never wavered. Starting as a land conservancy, Forterra quickly learned that to save this place meant looking beyond our scenic landscapes. By the early 2000’s, Forterra had developed joint agendas which drew attention to the influence our built world has on the health of all our landscapes – identifying two key goals: 1) protect 1.3.million acres of working forest, farms, shorelines, parks and natural areas; 2) Make cities and towns great places to live, work and raise families.
