Sustainability Walking Tour

Take a stroll through Capitol Hill, visiting Seattle's most sustainable sites

Join us Saturday, August 24th, when we will get together with friends, take a walking tour of five sustainable sites in the city, and talk sustainability.


Bullitt Center? EcoDistrict? P-patches? Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood is going through many changes- and developments continue! Fortunately, sustainability has been key to many (new and old) projects, helping create a thriving community to be proud of! You’re invited on a walking tour to visit spaces on “The Hill” picked for their commitment to sustainability. Hear from many local organizations and learn how you can take action at home. This event begins and concludes at the NW Film Forum 8th Annual Bike-In.

About Sustainable Seattle

Sustainable Seattle is focused on the long-term health and sustainability of Seattle and the surrounding Puget Sound region. Founded in 1991, the organization has a history of being a catalyst and resource for positive change. We have worked to develop five sets of community-based indicators over the past 22 years, measuring and making progress towards sustainability. Our indicator reports have reached thousands of people and sparked the formation of many other community sustainability groups throughout the world. Our current programs use environmental action and education as a launching point for citizen engagement with the end goal of an overall healthier, more vibrant community for all.
