The Urbanist was founded in early 2014 in order to examine and influence urban policies. We believe cities provide unique opportunities for addressing many of the most challenging social, environmental, and economic problems. We serve as a resource for promoting and disseminating ideas, creating community, increasing political participation, and improving the places we live.

Join us each month in Downtown Seattle for a social gathering to talk about urban issues and hear from local thought leaders.

When: Second Tuesday / 5.30pm - 7.30pm
Where: Elephant & Castle / 1415 Fifth Avenue, Seattle
