Participate in Seattle Restored
Through the program, small businesses and artists collaborate with property owners to bring life to commercial spaces in Downtown Seattle and surrounding neighborhoods. By offering these spaces, participating property owners enhance the diversity and vibrancy of their communities and support the local economy.
