The Great Seattle Initiative brings together environmental, neighborhood, and business leaders to create a great livable and sustainable city.  In order to help build coalitions by providing more opportunities for public education, our neighborhood forum program helps neighborhoods bring engaging speakers to community events.  If you are interested in putting together a panel to discuss a topic of interest in your neighborhood, such as how to calm a dangerous intersection, reduce your neighborhood’s carbon footprint, foster/nurture independent businesses, create a pocket park, or plan for good development.
