Join Us for February Urbanist Socials and Waterways Presentation March 3rd

While The Urbanist’s usual schedule of social hours continues in February, we are hosting a very interesting presentation by University of Washington researcher Amir Sheikh on March 3rd. Focused on the history and future of Seattle’s Waterways, the talk will cover a broad swath of topics, including urban design, environmental impacts, how the changes to our waterways have impacted the communities that rely on them, and how we can take collective responsibility for the future of our region. Note that space is very limited, so reserve your spot soon. We may host a repeat of the event in April, depending on demand.

February 26th Eastside Urbanism Social

• What: A social gathering of urbanists from across the Eastside with our friends at Eastside Urbanism. A great topic of discussion for this month: where are you most excited to ride the 2 Line once the “Crosslake Connection” opens next month? Look for orange Eastside Urbanism T-shirts, bike helmets, or the big group of people excitedly talking about zoning rules and bus routes. Arriving late or leaving early is just fine – the cafe now closes at 7pm, but the area our group hangs out in stays open to the public beyond that. The last trains run around 9:30pm, and we’ll be there until we’re done. 🙂
