Theme/Description:
Join walkability expert Dan Burden for this action-packed tour of small towns in the Pacific Northwest by coach bus, bicycle, walking and ferry. The Smart Growth in Small Towns tour starts at noon on February 1 from SeaTac Airport and ends at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Seattle on the evening of February 3. The event precedes the 9th annual New Partners for Smart Growth Conference.
The Pacific Northwest has been a leader in the smart growth and healthy communities movements. Small towns are often flexible enough to bring about change faster than large metropolitan areas. The tour will visit over 10 neighborhoods, towns and small cities to explore key issues facing many communities, including downtown revitalization, infill housing, green development and transformation of suburban bedroom communities to complete towns and cities.
