Alliance for Safety, Affordability and Preservation (ASAP)
The Alliance for Safety, Affordability and Preservation (ASAP) has come together to develop creative solutions to the threat to public safety; affordable living and working spaces; and the rich legacy of our region’s built environment posed by the impact of future seismic events on our unreinforced masonry buildings (URMs). An event like a magnitude 6 to 7 Seattle fault earthquake has the potential to cause widespread death and injury, displace tens of thousands of our region’s most vulnerable residents and the businesses who call these building’s home, and permanently damage some of our most distinctive historic structures. Furthermore, it would severely exacerbate the existing housing affordability crisis and lead to a surge in homelessness. Consisting of concerned stakeholders from the City of Seattle, King County, developers (both marketrate and affordable), URM property owners, historic preservationists, and neighborhood associations, ASAP actively seeks to restore and upgrade these character-rich brick buildings before the next major earthquake renders them uninhabitable, or leads to their unplanned demolition. We believe that mandatory safety legislation is the only way to marshal all of the concerned stakeholders and resources required to solve this issue in an efficient and organized manner.
