Civic engagement is serious work, but there’s room to celebrate it, too.
This December, Seattle CityClub invites you to A Civic Soirée, a festive edition of Civic Cocktail that brings together the people and organizations shaping civic life across the Pacific Northwest. Join us for an evening of conversation and connection as we reflect on a consequential year and recognize the work happening throughout our communities.
Local civic organizations will be on hand to share their accomplishments and introduce new opportunities to get involved. Whether you’re a longtime advocate or looking for your first step into civic life, there’s a place for you in the conversation.
The evening will also feature a special conversation with former Washington Governor Chris Gregoire, interviewed by KUOW’s Scott Greenstone, exploring her professional journey, the experiences that shaped her commitment to public service, and her perspective on civic engagement and democracy. Through a candid discussion of her leadership and the lessons learned along the way, we’ll consider what it takes to make a difference and why that work matters now.

About Civic Cocktail
Civic Cocktail connects elected and community leaders with the public for lively conversations about important issues facing our region. Whether you’re new to the Pacific Northwest, a self-described “civic nerd,” or looking to meet people engaged in their communities, your evening at this beloved program is sure to be friendly, fun, and fascinating. Civic Cocktail’s welcoming and conversational tone is inspired by our Dialogue Across Differences initiative. We hope you can join in person, where the conversation happens over tasty bites and festive libations, but you can still enjoy the experience wherever you are by watching virtually.
