EVENT LISTED BELOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED AND IS BEING RESCHEDULED
Join us for the second of three Lid I-5 Beer & Culture events to be held in January and February, 2025 on Building Partnerships, to create a connected, equitable, and sustainable Seattle by lidding a portion of I-5. Presented by Lid I-5 and co-sponsored by Allied Arts of Seattle and Seattle Parks Foundation. Hear perspectives from panelists experienced at the neighborhood, city and national level in what promises to be a rich discussion.
The event is at the Wing Luke Museum in the heart of Seattle's Chinatown-International District, the neighborhood most impacted by I-5 in the Lid I-5 project area. Focus questions include:
What partnerships are needed to ensure the success of lidding I-5 and how do we engage with those communities?
How do we build community-led project leadership and create a compelling urban design vision the community will champion?
How can the connections provided by the lid sustain these partnerships once the project is completed?
Panelists:
David Yeaworth, President, Catalyst Strategies (Moderator)
Marshall Foster, Director of Seattle Center
An Huynh, Director of Community Development, SCIDpda
Eric Liu, Chief Executive Officer & Co-founder Citizen University
