POSITION DESCRIPTION:

The Land Use Section of the Seattle City Attorney’s Office seeks a senior land use attorney. As in-house counsel to a city grappling with cutting-edge land and street use issues, we advise policy-makers, review and draft legislation, counsel departmental staff, and defend City laws and decisions in litigation. We work with elected officials, land use planners, and those who enhance affordable housing, preserve historic resources, and manage our streets, parks, and utilities. We get to practice the law we most enjoy for a dynamic, world-class city. Our low turnover is a testament to our job satisfaction; this opportunity results from a colleague’s retirement and is the first opening in over five years within our eight-attorney team.
