- The appendices of the City’s Bethel and Sedgwick Corridor Plan have been added to Appendix B of the Comprehensive Plan.
- The Centers section of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element has been updated for consistency with the Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC) VISION 2040 Plan and other city codes and plans.

As a result of this analysis, the Downtown and County Campus Centers have been listed as a candidate regional center.
