Seattle Opening Ceremony: Building Toward an Affordable, Resilient and Prosperous Green Economy, with Remarks from Governor Bob Ferguson
Kick off a week of high-impact learning, collaboration, and climate action at our Seattle grand opening!
Because of its popularity, registration for the event is closed and additional folks are RSVPing on a waitlist. If you're no longer able to attend, please cancel your registration on the page so we can allow additional people to attend. We have fire code limitations for the City Hall space, and we will not be able to admit people without an approved "Going" Status in Luma.
We are delighted to welcome Governor Ferguson to help start the week with his reflections about key progress we've made in Washington state and the important work that lies ahead.
We'll first hear from local and regional leaders about the climate solutions that are already under way, and they'll discuss how our Pacific Northwest community is stepping into gaps in federal efforts to build an affordable, resilient and prosperous green economy.
