Seattle Public Utilities is working on a plan for our city’s water future, and we want you to join us. We’re calling it Shape Our Water: A 50-year Plan for Seattle’s Water Resilience. Together, let’s envision how we’ll make equitable and environmentally sound drainage and sewer investments to take care of our water for the next 50 years.

As part of Shape Our Water’s Fireside Series, local Tribal members offer their perspectives on water and their cultural relationships to water, rooted in historical methods of water management, with lessons from the past that can inform our future.

Through storytelling and discussion, participants explore the essentialism of water, why water is a source of life, water’s role in our modern lives, and how we can maintain our connections to water. The conversation spans across generations as speakers share their experiences in the context of the urbanization of the Seattle area over time. This conversation was originally presented on January 28, 2021.
