On Thursday, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan met with representatives from some of the most powerful tech companies in the region at City Hall before racing south to catch the launch event of sea.citi, a group trying to get everyday tech workers more engaged with civic life.
The back-to-back events reflect an effort by Seattle’s tech industry, one of the top drivers of rapid growth and change in the region, to take a more active roll in community life and the challenges the city faces.
