The DCC is the organized voice of downtown residents — the people who live
closest to 435,000 square feet of civic space that's dark 250 days a year.
The DCC meets at City Hall; presenting the Commons proposal at a DCC meeting
puts it directly in front of the constituency with the most direct standing
to advocate for it with elected officials.
DCC is also fiscally sponsored by Seattle Parks Foundation — the same
organization that sponsors Lid I-5. That's not a coincidence; it's a network
already primed for this conversation. A DCC endorsement carries weight precisely
because it's resident-led, not developer-led.
