Over 200 people came to see our new space in the historic Pacific Tower! It was an amazing event and we need to thank all of those who could attend. We will share a few pictures of our space in this post but please stayed tuned, in the coming weeks we will put together a more comprehensive post of our office and event center.

Did you know that buildings are responsible for 33% of Seattle’s core emissions? Or that The City of Seattle is aiming for a 39% net reduction in building-related emissions by 2030 and an 82% net reduction by 2050?

These stats come out of The City of Seattle’s Office of Sustainability and Environment and they are hosting an open house in a couple of weeks. The focus will be on the next steps in meeting their climate action goals. The meeting will be on September 14th from 11am – 1pm in the Bertha Landes Room in Seattle City Hall.
