What we’re about
Welcome to Seattle YIMBY – a vibrant and inclusive meetup for everyone who wants two bring positive change to Seattle. Is your rent too high and you can't afford to buy a home? Are you worried about less fortunate neighbors who are suffering from housing insecurity? YIMBY, which stands for "Yes In My Backyard," encapsulates our commitment to building a Seattle where everyone has access to safe, affordable, and welcoming homes.
What we do:
Join us for a diverse array of events, from lively social mixers to informative workshops and panel discussions. Our meetups are designed to connect, learn, and contribute to the collective vision of an inclusive and affordable Seattle.
Seattle YIMBY is more than just a meetup group; it's a movement dedicated to creating positive change in our city. Together, we can build a Seattle that welcomes everyone, where housing is affordable, and where community bonds are strong.

See all- 📢 Rally in Support of Abundant Housing 📢McClure Middle School, Seattle, WA
Join us in historically one of the most NIMBY parts of Seattle to advocate for abundant housing!
The mayor's office gutted the original Comprehensive Plan removing dozens of neighborhood centers in order to preserve wealthy enclaves just like Queen Anne from having to welcome new residents.
We will be rallying in support of that original Comp Plan that called for more housing. This will be our last in-person chance to participate in the public comment period for the draft plan.
We will be demonstrating to the Mayor’s office that there is a critical mass of Seattle residents that are asking for more housing and demanding an end to the housing crisis.
So join us Tuesday the 30th in Queen Anne at 5:30pm which is 30 minutes before the OPCD Open House Event. We'll be bringing signs to support the original OPCD comp plan.
We will be providing signs but feel free to bring some of your own too!
Location: McClure Middle School in Queen Anne (1915 1st Ave W)
Date: Tuesday, April 30, 5:30 - 7:30PM
