Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland to Host State of the City Address on March 19

Tacoma, Wash. -- In collaboration with the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Marilyn Strickland will host the 2014 State of the City Address on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. in the Hotel Murano's Venice Ballroom (1320 Broadway).

Speaking on the theme Tacoma 2.0, Strickland plans to discuss an array of topics including economic development, Tacoma’s regional and national presence, education, and her youth summer employment program, SummerJobs253. 

Event attendees and members of the public will be encouraged to engage with the Mayor during her address using the #SOTC253 Twitter hashtag, and a live Twitter feed will be displayed prominently at the venue.  

"Tacoma is an attractive waterfront city that has recently experienced some great wins, but there is some heavy lifting to be done if we are serious about realizing our full potential,” says Strickland. “I am pleased to share my vision for how our entire city must work together to ensure that growth benefits our neighborhoods, our business districts and the residents who choose to call Tacoma home."

Tickets are $25 for students with an ID and persons aged 55 and up. Tickets for general admission are $40 in advance. For more information, please contact Janice Hutchins at the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce by calling (253) 627-2175 or visit the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce’s website
