Connection & Community

Thanks to the more than 1,100 business and civic leaders who attended our 19th annual State of Downtown at the Seattle Convention Center Summit building. Presented by Lane Powell PC, the event celebrated the transformational projects reshaping downtown and the importance of downtown to the region. As always, DSA President & CEO Jon Scholes shared insights and analysis on the present and future of downtown. Key speakers included Donor Representative of Elliott Bay Connections Leslie Koch, President of the Seattle City Council Sara Nelson, and President & CEO and Friends of Waterfront Seattle Joy Shigaki.

Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison, Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz and Acting Chief, Seattle Care Department Amy Smith also joined a panel to discuss critical issues impacting revitalization, including the opioid and homelessness crises, public safety, police recruitment and more.
