A Compassionate and Coordinated Approach
In One Seattle, everyone in every neighborhood will be safe and feel secure. The Restoration Framework establishes key performance indicators to be shared on public dashboards as part of our commitment to transparency and accountability.

The Restoration Framework builds on six key strategies
- Reduce Gun Violence citywide, starting with a focus on neighborhoods with the highest rates of shooting deaths and shots fired.
- Prevent and Reduce High-Impact Crime by ensuring our police and fire departments have the tools, deterrents, and authority needed to respond to today’s challenges.
- Respond to 9-1-1 Calls Effectively and Efficiently by building sufficient public safety responder staffing, expanding civilian support and diversified response options to dispatch the proper resources to address the specific needs of the incident.
- Confront the Opioid Crisis with a Public Health and Safety Approach by reducing fatal and non-fatal overdoses and improving overdose data and information to better track numbers, locations, types, and trends to better inform our approach.
- Activate and Enhance Neighborhoods by fostering welcoming communities with restorations and cleanings, helping people travel safely, and activating Downtown as the heart of Seattle
- Tackle the Root Causes and Impacts of Violence through investments in community to build safety, youth mental health, coordination and expansion of outreach services, improved affordable housing options, and increased access to healthy food.
The Restoration Framework lays out the vision for the approach Mayor Harrell has put into action over the last three years and details our holistic safety vision – how we connect that work with upstream investments to address root causes of violence, focused place-based activations, and support for everyone to access opportunities and achieve their full potential. The Framework is informed by this coordinated approach, resident feedback, lessons learned from the Unified Care Team, and ongoing analysis of safety data.
The City launched a new pilot Downtown Activation Team (DAT) to improve coordination for place-based activations, cleanings, and safety operations in Downtown, the Chinatown-International District, and Little Saigon. The DAT brings together nearly 15 City departments with partners and service providers like the Downtown Seattle Association (DSA), Metropolitan Improvement District (MID) Ambassadors, and We Deliver Care.
