At the June Civic Cocktail, we’ll examine the complex factors shaping the cost of living for communities–especially vulnerable populations–in the Puget Sound region. From the rising costs of housing, healthcare, and daily essentials to the ripple effects of local, state, and federal fiscal decisions. With a focus on real-world solutions, our panel of experts will explore how public policy, economic trends, and community engagement intersect to influence quality of life—from youth to older adults, and across every neighborhood.
 
Join us for a timely conversation on building a more affordable, equitable, and resilient region for all.

Ticket holders are encouraged to arrive early, grab a bite, and engage with fellow civic enthusiasts! From 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., enjoy lite appetizers (included with your ticket) at The Collective Seattle, and connect with the Seattle CityClub community before the evening’s conversation begins.

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.
