12/9/202229:26

Businesses are cautiously optimistic, but the downtown core, home to more than half the city’s jobs, has an office vacancy problem, tech layoffs, and ongoing concerns about homelessness and public safety. We take the pulse of the local economy.

Jon Scholes, President & CEO, Downtown Seattle Association
Tracey Wickersham, Senior Director of Cultural Tourism, Visit Seattle
Craig Coogan, Interim Executive Director, Seattle Men’s Chorus
