By the year 2040, the Puget Sound Region will have grown by 1.7 million people and 1.2 million jobs.
We have work to do.
On April 30, 2008, more that 250 elected officials, business leaders, civic activists and environmentalists will gather in Seattle at an event called Reality Check. Reality Check is neither a traditional conference nor a theoretical exercise. At the event, small, diverse groups will collectively analyze projected household and employment growth, as well as transportation needs for the region.
