On June 27 and 28, Together, Seattle Works, will bring together civic leaders who are working to support the greater Seattle “family-wage” job base. Thanks to past collaborations, more than 100,000 good industrial jobs still exist within the Seattle City Limits, generating career opportunities and prosperity for a very wide cross-section of the community.

June 27 activities are based at the Georgetown Campus of South Seattle College. That day’s schedule includes:

  • Industry tours to the Nucor Steel, Vigor Shipyard and the “Industry Space” incubator facility that supports 10 new manufacturing firms.
