Seattle will gain as many as 100,000 residents and 84,000 jo bs by 2024 Hi Kelly, Thank you for your e-mail to Councilmember Burgess. An elementary school in down town is an issue that is on Tim s radar screen. He has had several conversations about it with City planning staff and others and believes it is an important step to plan for, especially if we want t o continue to attract families to the greater Downtown area.

At John Hay Elementary we are seeing about one new student a week and the District will be p lacing classroom portables on our playground in August this year. I would also like to suggest that the City of Seattle should collaborate with Se attle Public Schools to create a new elementary school, middle school, and high school in the downtown c ore. Seattle Public Schools has done some very good demographic projections covering the next decade and this could be great information to share with the mayor and city council. ##### City planners are preparing a recommendation on raising height limits for new bu ildings in South Lake Union, the former warehouse district north of downtown where Amazon.com Inc. mov ed its

headquarters. The potential change, to be presented by June to the mayor, was spurred in part by a forecast that Seattle will gain as many as 100,000 residents and 84,000 jobs by 2024.
