These projects benefit neighborhoods, small businesses, artists, and property owners and encourage the public to visit downtown Seattle, and support local businesses and artists. Each entrepreneur is provided with wrap-around support, including a no-cost lease, operating expenses, and business training, setting them up for future success. All Seattle Restored participants are included in a citywide media campaign: online, print, radio, and a digital passport program. In 2025, this program supported 62 participants, 10 of them moved on from the program to secure their own long-term lease of 2+ years. The program facilitated over $2,000,000 in sales in 2025.
