Retail Study of Madison St. Corridor

We Need Your Input!

The First Hill Improvement Association (FHIA) is joining Seattle's Office of Economic Development (OED) in the Retail and Ground Floor Revitalization Project - energizing nine Seattle neighborhoods and two downtown areas. The rise of e-commerce, hybrid work, and our changing and growing community needs calls for a fresh look at our spaces. 

The time is especially crucial for First Hill with the recent completion of the Rapid Ride project along Madison Street.  We want to re-imagine and revitalize our neighborhood's main street, and need your input.  As First Hill continues to evolve, it is essential that community members have a chance to influence the way our neighborhood will look in the future. 

Please complete the survey by February 14th and share your thoughts and experiences.  The survey will inform strategies to support existing businesses and revitalize the Madison corridor based on the needs of residents, students, and employees. Thank you for your help to inform this important work.

Feel free to share this flyer about the survey with your neighbors and colleagues!
