Straight Talk: Future of Downtown Seattle

March 9, 2021 @ 8:30 am - 9:30 am

Straight Talk: Future of Downtown Seattle

An honest and direct virtual conversation.

While downtown Seattle was hit hard by the pandemic and associate closures, the area was struggling before 2020 with some public safety challenges. Now, as we move into the recovery, the PSBJ will take a look at what’s next for downtown Seattle, how this region can make sure the revitalization efforts help those who need it most, including the restaurants and retailers whose businesses were decimated by the pandemic. We will also look ahead at the work-from-home trend and how that could impact the city long-term.

Speakers:

Matthew Gardner – Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate
Denise Merle – SVP & Chief Administration Officer, Weyerhaeuser
Suzy Monford – President & CEO, PCC Community Markets
Jon Scholes – President & CEO, Downtown Seattle Association
