EK On The Go – Episode #4

Building Trust by Talking over the Fence: A Process for Successful Civic Engagement

In this episode we welcome guest Norm Rice, Seattle's 49th mayor. Come stroll with us down mayoral-memory-lane through Seattle's  first tech boom of the 1990's. His two-Mayoral terms reversed decades of economic decline in Seattle’s downtown core, transformed our city's neighborhoods, and seeded the revitalization of South Lake Union. Join us as we explore how the Seattle of today -- a place of global cultural and economic preeminence -- is rooted in recent memory. Fasten your seatbelt as we uncover a big chunk of our city’s transformation packed in one short but dynamic hour.
