SESSIONS & SPEAKER BIOSSeattle, Washington

WELCOME AND OVERVIEW

Seattle is the center of the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue region which has a population of 3.6 million. Similar to MSP, this region makes up more than half of the state’s entire population. The City of Seattle has a population of about 670,000 and is arguably the fastest-growing city in the US. Also like MSP, Seattle’s population has historically been predominantly white although the region is attracting a sizeable Asian and Hispanic population. The region’s economy is diversified with a legacy of manufacturers such as Boeing and a major Port operation, growing alongside Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, and other retail and tech companies. The biotech and healthcare sectorare also important to the region’s economy.

The city of Seattle is governed by a Mayor-Council form of government and this fall it will elect seven councilmembers representing seven new districts. This shift in city elections is the result of a ballot measure, of which there are typically many! The political culture is very liberal, including a socialist city councilmember.

The Seattle Chamber has more than 2200 members and is very active in transportation issues, economic development, trade and education.

WAGES, WATER AND WOW: SEATTLE’S BIG ISSUES

Seattle was the first major city in the Country to enact a $15 minimum wage. The wage rate began being phased in April 1, 2015. Among those at the center of the discussion was Bob Donegan, CEO of a local chain of restaurants, who opposed the wage but came to realize it was better to be part of the discussion at City Hall instead of letting the measure go to the voters who surely would have approved it. Bob is a prominent business leader (Chamber, EDC) who will share his experience instituting the wage increase (raising prices 21% and instituting a no tipping policy). In addition, one of Bob’s restaurants, Ivar’s Acres of Clams, is in the heart of the Seattle waterfront redevelopment and as a result closed for one year to facilitate construction. Bob and other businesses worked with the City to accommodate this closure.

In July 2012, the City of Seattle released an overall vision for the waterfront. Today the Office of the Waterfront is delivering that vision in the form of the Waterfront Seattle Program. A new Elliott Bay Seawall is under construction, replacing the existing 100 year old seawall. Seawall construction is expected to be completed in 2017 and will serve as the foundation of the central waterfront.

To prepare for these changes, the City of Seattle launched “Waterfront Seattle” - a multi-year program to plan, design, and ultimately build the new waterfront - working intensively with civic leaders, waterfront stakeholders, and the broader Seattle public. The Program covers the waterfront from Pioneer Square to Belltown and, in addition to a rebuilt Elliott Bay Seawall, includes new parks and paths, access to the water, places to enjoy views, vibrant public and cultural spaces, and a new surface street that will accommodate all modes of travel and provide an important connection in the city’s transportation system.



Bob DoneganPresident/Co-OwnerIvar’s, Inc.

Five years after graduating from Yale’s School of Management, Bob jumped from the stability of American Can, a Fortune 100 company, back into the exciting chaos of his own consulting business and moved to Seattle so his wife could teach in the business school at University of Washington. In 1993, Bob got involved in the emerging specialty coffee business, helping the founders of Starbucks raise $3 million to start a new coffee roaster and retailer in Washington, D.C. Bob helped merge the D.C. company into Peet’s Coffee in Berkeley and then became the Executive VP and CFO of Peet’s.

Four years later he returned to and joined Ivar’s as the CFO to help grow its restaurant and chowder businesses (wholesale and retail soups). Bob became President on September, 11 2000 when the managing partner at Ivar’s died of a heart attack and the other three partners asked him to step in.

Bob grew up in Milwaukee and earned undergraduate degrees in economics and journalism from the University of Wisconsin (1976). In Seattle, he chaired the corporate advisory board of the United Negro College Fund for the Northwest region; has worked with the advisory board of a Native Claims Corporation in Anchorage; and serves on the boards of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the Seattle Chapter of the Boy Scouts, the Seattle Sports Commission, the Seattle Aquarium, the Seattle Historic Waterfront Association and Golf Savings Bank.

ON THE WATERFRONT: OF MARITIME INDUSTRY, WATERFOWL AND BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENTS

Seattle’s transportation planning and operations are divided among several entities. King County oversees the Metro system of buses and carries 115 million passengers a year. The County is also responsible for some roads, Boeing Field, and water taxis. Today’s briefing will be aboard the County’s newest vessel, the Sally Fox. The ferry, and others, operate in a busy waterfront that is the 8th busiest US cargo container port and a growing cruise ship destination. Seattle’s maritime industry contributes about $2.1 billion to the local economy and supports close to 20,000 jobs.

The Seattle waterfront is fed by the Duwamish river that was retrofitted to better serve as a shipping channel in the 1800s. Boeing and other industrial users located nearby which resulted in industrial waste, stormwater runoff, etc. In 2001 the EPA classified the Duwamish as a Superfund site. Since then King County, Boeing and others have been working to restore the river.

THEN AND NOW: REFLECTIONS ON SEATTLE FROM 2003 TIL 2015

When the Chamber InterCity Leadership Visit came to Seattle in 2003, the metro area had 2.2 million people and an economy that shrunk after the dot-com bubble. The area’s unemployment rate hit 7.3% and many thought Seattle’s “boom” years were in the past. The region had lost Boeing’s headquarters, was struggling to get its first LRT built and South Lake Union was full of low-slung industrial buildings. Fast-forward to today and Seattle is one of the fastest growing economies in the country, Amazon has transformed South Lake Union (and arguably the region), the City is about to embark on a $950 million ten year investment in transportation. Much has changed. In 2003, one of the highlights of the ICLV was hearing from Ron Sims who was Executive of King County. We are honored to have Ron join us again this year to share his perspective on what’s changed, what work still needs to be done, and what we can learn from Seattle.



Ron SimsFormer Deputy Secretary for theUS Department of Housing and Urban DevelopmentFormer Executive, King County (1997-2009)

Ron Sims is a civic volunteer active in health, education, environmental and social equity issues. Appointed by Governor Jay Inslee, Sims serves as the chair of the Washington Health Benefit Exchange Board.

Sims is on the Board of Directors of the Washington Health Alliance, formerly the Puget Sound Health Alliance, a nonprofit organization he helped found where employers, physicians, hospitals, patients, health plan providers and others from throughout the region come together to improve health care quality. Sims served as the Deputy Secretary for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development from 2009 to 2011. He was appointed by President Obama and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate. As the second most senior official at HUD, Sims managed the day-to-day operations of an agency with 8,500 employees and an operating budget of nearly $40 billion. Prior to his appointment at HUD, Sims served for 12 years as the elected Executive of Martin Luther King, Jr. County in Washington State, the 13th largest county in the nation with 1.8 million residents and 39 cities including the cities of Seattle, Bellevue and Redmond.

As County Executive, Sims was nationally recognized for his work on the integration of environmental, social equity and public health policies that produced groundbreaking work on climate change, health care reform, affordable housing, mass transit, environmental protection, land use, and equity and social justice.

ENSURING EXCELLENCE: THE GATES FOUNDATION AND K-12 EDUCATION

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation believes the best way to break the cycle of poverty is through education.

Their work strives to create opportunities for students to learn more effectively through sound policies, by aligning systems that support young people, and by supporting better practice by teachers, principals, and parents. We specifically focus on enhancing opportunities for low-income students and students from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds.

The Foundation is advancing work in fivekey areas that will help more students succeed:

• Improved transitions between preschool and elementary school, middle school and high school, and high school and college• Data-driven decision making in all programs that focus on student success• Quality instruction and leadership in early-learning programs and other educational institutions• Increased innovation to boost student achievement• Alignment among health, housing, and social service systems that serve students and families

PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERSHIP IN K-12: BOEING AND STEM

Earlier this year Boeing announced that it is providing $15 million to create the Boeing Academy for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Learning at the Museum of Flight.

An additional $15 million match was announced by the family of the late Bill Boeing Jr., son of the company founder, bringing the total investment in the Museum of Flight to $30 million.

The academy being created with The Boeing Company’s investment represents a vigorous, new STEM-focused education initiative that aims to double the number of students served by the museum’s immersive programs over the next two years -- particularly from communities under-represented in STEM fields -- and connect them to fulfilling, in-demand careers.

Washington state leads in creating STEM jobs, but by 2017 an estimated 45,000 STEM jobs in Washington will go unfulfilled due to lack of qualified candidates, according to Washington STEM, a non-profit organization advocating for increased investment in STEM education. The Boeing Academy for STEM Learning at the Museum of Flight will significantly expand STEM opportunities for Washington’s youth. It is expected to double by 2017 – and double again by 2019 - the number of students served by the museum’s educational program.



Additionally, at least half of those students will be young women, students of color or economically disadvantaged, which makes it possible for young people across the spectrum of our community to develop their talents and share in the promise of a better future.

INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS TO ENSURE A FUTURE WORKPLACE

King County’s manufacturing sector is a significant employer in the region, representing 105,790 employees in 2013. Total employment in manufacturing occupations is slated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.9%. King County’s manufacturing sector encompasses a wide range of employers and occupations, chief among these within King County are aerospace parts and product manufacturers. Knowledge of expected gaps in local demand and supply allows workforce development professionals to collaborate to ensure the region is offering the appropriate mix of educational and training opportunities. Linking educational preparation to occupational demand ensures that a competitive workforce is available to support the regional economy. The Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County has been a national leader in supply-demand analysis and development of pipelines. Working with Boeing and other companies, the Council has estimated that across all core occupations, the industry is expected to experience a shortfall of 834 positions per year based on local supply beginning as soon as 2017.

AMAZON AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE SEATTLE REGION

In 2003 when the ICLV visited Seattle, the group stopped in South Lake Union at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to learn about the region’s efforts to grow the bioscience and life-science sectors. Enroute we passed light industrial buildings and a smattering of older historic buildings. In addition to learning about the plans to bring more science firms to the area, we heard about Vulcan, Inc. the real estate company created by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. Vulcan had purchased large swaths of South Lake Union with an eye toward attracting technology firms. Some of that growth occurred and South Lake Union is home to Battelle, Zymogenetics, Seattle Children’s Hospital, etc. but the big change came in 2007 when a little company called Amazon announced it was consolidating its Seattle offices in South Lake Union. Amazon moved in in 2010 and today leases over 9 million square feet. In addition 15% of Amazon’s of 40,000 employees live in the area and walk to work. Today Amazon’s decision to grow in this urban neighborhood has been a huge (and sometimes controversial) catalyst. Further, the 2007 streetcar line that links South Lake Union and downtown helped spur the rapid expansion of the area.



Josh BrownExecutive DirectorPuget Sound Regional Council

Josh Brown is the Executive Director of the Puget Sound Regional Council. PSRC works to support a thriving central Puget Sound region through planning for growth, transportation, and economic development.

Since coming on board as executive director, Josh has made it a priority to meet with leaders from around the region to listen and learn about what the region can do to help communities plan for growth and get ready for the future.

MONDAY TOURS

A. South Lake Union and AmazonLori Mason Curran, Vulcan, Inc. When the ICLV delegation visited Seattle in 2003, South Lake Union was characterized by low slung industrial buildings with a nascent biotech cluster starting near the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. Vulcan (Paul Allen’s real estate company) was buying up most of the land. Today, the contrast could not be more stark. Instead of decaying auto repair shops, South Lake Union is among the hottest real estate markets in the country. Amazon has put its very sizable footprint in the area but other companies and housing are going in on virtually every block. This tour will give delegates a street level view of this amazing transformation.

OLYMPIC SCULPTURE PARK: SEATTLE’S CIVIC BALCONY

The Olympic Sculpture Park is a public park opened on January 20, 2007. The park consists of a 9-acre outdoor sculpture museum and beach. The park is situated at the northern end of the Seattle seawall and the southern end of Myrtle Edwards Park. The former industrial site was occupied by the oil and gas corporation Unocal until the 1970s and subsequently became a contaminated brownfield before the Seattle Art Museum, which operates the park, proposed to transform the area into one of the only green spaces in Downtown Seattle. The idea of creating a park for large, contemporary sculpture in Seattle grew from a discussion in 1996 between Seattle Art Museum director (and wife of William Gates Sr.) Mimi Gardner Gates and Martha Wyckoff. Wykoff, being a trustee of the Trust for Public Land, soon after began an effort to identify possible locations for the park. A $30 million gift from Mary and Jon Shirley (former COO of Microsoft and Chairman of the Seattle Art Museum Board of Directors) established them as foundational donors. As part of constructing the sculpture park, 5.7 million dollars were spent transforming 1,000 feet of the seawall and underwater shoreline.

11. Greater MSP Economic Development Discussion



INVESTING IN TRANSPORTATION TO ENSURE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

Recognizing that in King County, where you live, how much you make, and the color of your skin are major predictors of your life experience and chances of living well, Executive Dow Constantine has brought an equity lens to transportation. With too many county residents literally being left behind, King County has created ORCA Lift, a reduced bus fare for low-income riders. For its 2015 edition of ‘Best in Seattle,’ the Seattle Weekly staff looked back on the past year and selected five innovations that will do the most to make our region better. King County’s ORCA Lift program is on track to enroll 40,000 people by the end of its first year. In addition, Constantine serves as Chair of Sound Transit, the agency that plans, builds and operates express bus, light rail and commuter rail for three counties. Sound Transit is planning a ballot measure for fall 2016 that would generate $15 billion over 15 years for mass transit expansions. The source of the funds will be property tax of up to 25 cents for each $1,000 of assessed valuation; sales tax of up to 0.5 percent in addition to the 0.9 percent currently collected and a motor vehicle excise tax of up to 0.8 percent of vehicle value in addition to the 0.3 percent MVET Sound Transit is already collecting. This massive investment is driven by an expected population increase of 1 million people by 2040 and the fact that Seattle’s congestion is costs the region over $800 million annually.

Dow ConstantineKing County ExecutiveChair, Sound Transit

Dow Constantine was re-elected in 2013 by the largest margin of victory ever recorded for the office of King County Executive. His second term is focused on meeting two of the greatest generational challenges of our time: building equity and opportunity, and confronting climate change. Dow led the County’s efforts to enroll nearly 200,000 uninsured residents in affordable healthcare. Dow accepted the prestigious Innovations in American Government award from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, along with the Leaders in Healthcare award from Seattle Business Magazine for the County’s success in containing the cost of employee health care and saving $46 million. His reform agenda has put King County back on sound financial footing, and positioned the region for opportunities created by a new global economy. Dow has embraced the role of the metropolitan region as the center for action and ideas. Throughout his public service career, Dow has been an outspoken advocate for environmental protection, public transit, and government reform. As King County Executive, he is working to make King County the best-run government in the nation, and focusing on the great generational challenges of our time: building equity and opportunity, and confronting climate change.
