This incident was not an isolated incident on the Eastside. I am reaching out to address the Zoom bombing that took place early on in the event, and to share with you the steps we are taking to ensure a safe environment for future online events. The keynote and guest speakers were people of color as were the majority of local leaders who spoke about their work in the community. This was a key event for Welcoming Week on the Eastside, with co-sponsors including the cities of Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah, and Sammamish, and OneEastside.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our online event, “Equitable Economic Development: Embracing Opportunities for Our Region”, this past Friday, September 17th.
