Mar 13, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Room 608/609

Presented by: Sue Sherbrooke, Chief Executive Officer, YWCA Seattle-King County-Snohomish County; Jeff Foster, Principal, GGLO; John Eliason, Greenbridge Development Manager, King County Housing Authority

Moderated by: Kathleen O’Brien, President, O’Brien & Company

Using Greenbridge as a case study this workshop will focus on how integrating multiple stakeholders into the planning process creates livable communities. Greenbridge is a great regional example of single family, mixed use and commercial greenbuilding integrated into one community to create a functioning neighborhood. You will hear from the YWCA, King County Housing Authority and GGLO about what makes this community exceptional and what the challenges are for keeping it that way.
