City Council Bills/Ordinances

This database contains basic information about council bills and ordinances that have been acted on by the Seattle City Council since 1869. New items are added within 30 days of Council action; items under consideration by Council are available in our Legislative Information Center.

Records for items introduced in 1996 or later include full text (plain text). Scans of earlier items have been posted if we have them; if they are not posted, the documents can be reviewed on microfiche in our research room or scanned on request (copy fees may apply). Scans of signed legislation are also posted for items passed from 2009 forward.
