Downtown Seattle Association

The Downtown Seattle Association (DSA) works to support a vibrant, welcoming downtown for businesses, workers, residents, and visitors. Its work combines public policy advocacy, research, placemaking, and direct services focused on creating and maintaining a healthy urban center.

DSA publishes research and data on downtown’s economy, including retail, tourism, commercial and residential real estate, hotel occupancy, construction activity, and other key metrics. Through Commute Seattle, a 501(c)(3) partnership with King County Metro and the City of Seattle Department of Transportation, DSA also supports education and resources that encourage transit, light rail, walking, biking, and carpooling. Learn more through the official DSA programs and services page.
