Join the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and Washington State Main Street Program for a watch party of the annual virtual gathering, Rural Assembly Everywhere, a virtual gathering for those who care about rural America. We are bringing together rural-minded and “rural-curious” folks in King County and beyond to think deeply about this year’s theme, A Bigger Pie: Cultivating Abundance in a Time of Scarcity. Whether you’re looking to connect with other rural-minded folks or ready to deepen your understanding of rural development, you won’t want to miss it!
