Citizens Advisory Committee

The role of the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is to work with the City of Seattle and Children’s Hospital to develop a Major Institution Master Plan that balances the needs of the hospital with those of the community.

The Seattle City Council passed a resolution approving the CAC on July 30, 2007. The CAC will meet throughout the master planning process. Meetings are open to the public and materials from the meetings will also be available online.

For more information about the CAC process contact Steve Sheppard, City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.
