January 31, 2011 at 7 p.m., celebrate the accomplishments of 2010 and dream of possibilities for 2011 and beyond when Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland makes her first ever State of the City Address at BE Green/Shift Happens, January 31 at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center.


The State of the City Address is a look at the recent past and near future of Tacoma, with an emphasis on celebration.


Make no mistake. Amidst all the doom and gloom in 2010, Tacoma has found plenty to celebrate, including national honors for local projects for youth and sustainability, renewed efforts dedicated to improving the quality of local education, and the emergence of a groundswell of new small businesses in the city.


The State of the City Address will cap a day-long celebration of sustainability, local living and local business happening at three events - BE Green South Sound, Pecha Kucha Vol. 9, and Tacoma Shift Happens. Pecha Kucha Vol. 9, Shift Happens and the State of the City Address are all free to attend. Everyone is encouraged to attend daytime seminar sessions at BE Green South Sound for just $10.
