City of Music Career Day on April 26

The City of Music Career Day, a Seattle Music Commission initiative, produced in partnership with One Reel, the Office of Arts & Culture, the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), and The Vera Project, provides young people ages 13-24 with direct access to music industry professionals through networking, experiential learning, engaging workshops, and performances. Attendees will be guided through an action-packed day of engaging conversations and roundtable discussions that focus on the wide range of career possibilities within the music industry from those who know it best. Learn more.

RSVP on Facebook or check out the event page. 

#ShopTheSqueeze - The City of Seattle recently launched Shop the Squeeze, a social media contest encouraging locals to post about their favorite Downtown small businesses and the alternative transportation options they use to visit them. Every week, winning posts will receive prizes like $100 pre-loaded ORCA cards and Visa gift cards. As transportation changes continue to affect the ways we get around our city, it's important that we keep supporting local venues and other businesses - and why not win some prizes while you're at it? To join the fun, follow @SeattleEconomy on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. For more information and full contest rules, visit seattle.gov/shopthesqueeze.
