Metropolitan Improvement District Renewal
Founded by the Downtown Seattle Association in 1999 through a city of Seattle ordinance, the Metropolitan Improvement District is a business-improvement area in downtown Seattle spanning 285 square blocks in six downtown neighborhoods. With funding from commercial and residential property owners within the MID boundaries, DSA provides an array of services to ensure a clean, safe and welcoming downtown for all. The MID ordinance was renewed by the Seattle City Council in 2013 and is up for renewal in 2023.
The MID is managed by DSA. An advisory board of 35 property owners recommends an annual budget and work plan and provides ongoing input and oversight.
