Build the Vision for King County
It's time to protect King County's air and water, reduce global warming pollution, and build great, healthy communities. To get there, right now we have the opportunity to lay the requisite land use and transportation policy framework for the next 20 years. The King County Council is currently updating its Comprehensive Plan.

Futurewise Brownbag Series on the Seattle Climate Action Plan
The City of Seattle is currently in the process of updating its Climate Action Plan in order to meet its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. That means Seattle has an incredible opportunity to set a plan and actions toward improving economic opportunity, affordability and self-sufficiency, and public health by building high-performing, transit oriented communities. Futurewise is partnering with the Seattle Office of Sustainability and the Environment and Seattle Councilmember Mike O’Brien to host four panel brownbag discussions from December 2011 to mid-summer 2012 to dream what’s possible.
