Saturday, April 5th
9:00 A.M. TO 1:00 P.M.
SEATTLE CENTER, EXHIBITION HALL
I thought this had already been posted but I seem to have missed it. But hopefully you’ve seen some of the many posts and emails in other places. There are a lot more details below but it should be a fun event if you’re interested in neighborhoods, community, or larger Seattle issues.

What to Expect:
- Diane Douglas from CityClub will discuss the recently released Seattle Civic Health Index report. The report finds Seattle’s civic health to be excellent, but there are key areas where we can improve, specifically in connection and trust.
- We will touch upon how we organize as a community and as a city. Every community in the city mobilizes differently and for different reasons. With the recently passed district elections, community organization and government will look different.
- Infrastructure is an issue of city-wide interest. Share your thoughts on transportation as we embark on a search for a new Director for the Seattle Department of Transportation. Participate in a community discussion about the transportation needs of the city.
- Curbside Consulting: Access city resources in real time. Sit down at a staffed table and sign up for services such as utility discount programs, small sparks grants, or get a library card right then and there.
- Peer Networking: Connect to one another. Our residents are resourceful and are valuable resources. These small break-out sessions are focused on talking and teaching, listening and learning,
- Department Representatives: Share your thoughts and ask questions of staff from city departments.
- Getting social: Demonstrations of social media and technology that allow people to participate in new ways.
Hmmm…today is the 8th and I just got this so….too late. But I did hear about it on the radio.
Glad you still heard about it but I’m sorry you didn’t get the email in time. We try to limit the emails as we’ve gotten complaints about people getting too many. And I unfortunately didn’t get this up before the last email went out. Though it was posted a couple days before.
If you want to make sure you don’t miss anything you can subscribe to a feed (http://www.pinehurstseattle.org/feed/) of the blog updates so you’ll get them in between the emails. If there’s enough interest we could look into an email subscription to get a copy of every post as it’s written.
