The city is seeking Seattle renters for two City Council appointments, two mayoral appointments and one commission-selected seat. Applicants must rent within Seattle when appointed and throughout their terms.
The 15-member commission advises the mayor, City Council and city departments about policies affecting renters. Meetings are public and commissioners serve without compensation; the city says it is seeking membership that reflects Seattle's neighborhoods and different rental-housing experiences.
Applicants must use the city's online boards-and-commissions application and select the Seattle Renters' Commission, or request a mailed application from the city contact listed in the release. Applications are due Sunday, November 1, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific, and successful applicants are scheduled to begin serving in March 2027.
