We are thrilled to announce a special fundraiser and celebration to mark the 10th anniversary of The Urbanist! Join us at the historic 

 for an evening of celebration, reflection, and community.

The main event will include hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and a short presentation – including a look ahead at our future plans.

The VIP reception, starting an hour early, will feature a champagne toast and an opportunity to mingle with key supporters and contributors to The Urbanist.

Over the past decade, The Urbanist has grown from a humble blog into a powerful voice advocating for better housing, transportation, and urban living in Puget Sound and Washington State. This milestone is a testament to the incredible impact our community has had on shaping the region.

Reflecting on our 10th anniversary, Owen Pickford, the founder of The Urbanist, shared: "Seattle urbanists can be thankful for many incremental wins over the last decade. But many urbanists may also feel discouraged. 10 years [after founding The Urbanist], the root problem still seems the same.”

Pickford continues, “Would you know about these losses without The Urbanist? Would you know about solutions?" Over the last decade, it has become clear that our community needs “an explicit and sustainable urbanist media outlet." Our community needs The Urbanist.

As we celebrate this significant milestone, we want to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported The Urbanist over the years. Your dedication and passion have been instrumental in driving positive change and making our region a better place to live.

Table sponsorships are available at $2500 (4 seats)

Contributions to The Urbanist, a 501(c)(4) organization, are not tax-deductible.
