Seattle ranks 5th on an inaugural Energy Efficiency Scorecard that compares 34 of the most populous cities in the country. Leading the list was Boston, which achieved 76.75 points out of a possible 100, and scored well in all policy areas.
The other top-scoring cities were Portland, with 70 points, New York City (69.75 points), San Francisco (also with 69.75 points), Seattle (65.25 points) and Austin (62 points).
The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) conducted the assessment using five, variously-weighted metrics: building policies; transportation policies; energy & water utilities and public benefit programs; local government operations; and community-wide initiatives. Seattle topped the list that measured building policies.
Six years after being announced, a project that will transform a Bellevue warehouse/grocery distribution district into what developers call “a new kind of neighborhood” has broken ground. Called The Spring District, the 36-acre transit-oriented neighborhood will encompass “urban style housing,” plus offices, retailers, restaurants, parks, and a hotel, all built with a “focus on sustainability” and mobility choices, which will include nearby light rail.
Greg Johnson, president of Wright Runstad & Company, outlined the plans and timetable for the $2.3 billion project during a meeting of the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce. His Seattle-based company is partnering with San Francisco-based Shorenstein Realty Investors Eight on the joint venture.
I’m happy to announce that I’ve agreed to Co-Chair American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Kent for a second year in a row! Since cancer touches everyone’s lives directly or indirectly, I remain dedicated to this cause that CELEBRATES all cancer survivors and caregivers; allows us to REMEMBER those we’ve lost; and to FIGHT BACK against this disease by raising valuable research funds. The 2014 season promises to be another exciting year with Lance Goodwin as my exceptionally experienced Co-Chair and most of the Leadership Committee returning. It’s hard to believe that Lance and I began collaborating over 6 years ago and I’m honored to be serving alongside him again. With the support of Kent’s community members, organizations, businesses, and friends like you, we will FINISH THE FIGHT!
