The Seattle Music Commission is a 21-member volunteer commission representing a cross section of Seattle’s music sector, including a broad range of individuals from the local music community. The Commission strives to enhance the growth and development of Seattle’s music sector and convey the city’s commitment to the industry, musicians, and live music audience that comprise the city’s local music economy. The Commission, staffed by the City of Seattle Office of Film + Music, works with City departments and the greater community to advance the goals outlined in the Seattle City of Music 2020 Vision.
