At Year in Review we look back at the biggest issues and major stories that defined our civic life in 2023. From the future of democracy to war and geopolitics, homelessness, equity, and the economy—a panel of thought-leaders join us to reflect on all we’ve seen and predict what will happen in 2024.

The panel discussion will be preceded by special guest Dow Constantine, King County Executive, who will present the “state of the county” and review the county’s progress and challenges over the past year.
