About MID
The Metropolitan Improvement District (MID) is a non-profit service organization that provides cleaning and safety/hospitality services, as well as destination marketing, research, business recruitment, market analysis, and transportation solutions for Downtown Seattle.
Founded by the Downtown Seattle Association in 1999, the MID is financed through tax assessments on Downtown properties and covers a 225 square block area in Downtown Seattle’s core.
Each day, the MID’s 62 Downtown Ambassadors patrol the streets of the Denny Triangle, Pioneer Square, Retail Core, Waterfront and West Edge neighborhoods in order to maintain Seattle’s healthy, vibrant urban core.
