#SeattleTogether

Throughout this COVID-19 crisis, we have seen community come together and hold each other up like never before. We have watched organic movements take hold that are devoted to supporting those in need financially, emotionally, spiritually, and creatively. We have come together to feed one another, protect one another, entertain one another, and sustain one another through this dark and uncertain time.

It has been truly inspiring to witness! And, it has galvanized us at the City to uplift this work and do everything we can to support, encourage, and contribute to it through our new Seattle Together initiative.

Learn more about #SeattleTogether on our blog.
