“It’s the time for bold action. That’s why our long-term plans center around downtown as a sort of a laboratory for the future,” Harrell said Tuesday in his State of the City address.Next month, Harrell plans to launch a design competition for office-to-apartment conversions. Harrell also calls for rethinking ground floor retail space that’s often unused and creating 24/7 entertainment districts to bring people downtown.
Rachel Smith, President and CEO of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, said she supports the mayor’s all-of-the-above approach but is cautious about converting offices.
