SUMMARY:Bird Fest will be Saturday\, Feb. 15 at Burien Community Center
DESCRIPTION:Bird Fest will be held from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Burien Community Center this Saturday\, Feb. 15\, 2020\, and offers families\, friends and neighbors an opportunity to learn about their local birds and plants while participating in the annual Great Backyard Bird Count. \nThere will be presentations\, counts\, booths and activities for all ages with local environmental organizations. Family and bird-friendly activities will include hourly walks and counts\, identification games\, observing bird skins and mounts\, dissecting owl pellets\, and other activities for young children. Last year\, more than 100 people attended after the area’s largest recorded snowfall in February and counted 66 local birds in the name of science\, with five species being different than the two years prior. \nHourly\, naturalists will deliver tips on how to identify birds by sight and sound and have participants help count them for 15 minutes next door at Dottie Harper Park at 10:30 a.m.\, 11:30 a.m. & 12:30 p.m. At 10:45 a.m.\, Ed Dominguez of Seward Park Audubon Center will have a presentation on winter water birds to help you distinguish ducks from grebes\, the divers from the dabblers and what interesting behaviors you can watch for in local waterways. At 12:30 p.m.\, Kharli Rose of the Environmental Science Center will reinforce that if you know how to count\, you can help birds in some local community science counts and will provide details on the Great Backyard Bird Count. She will also share some easy\, basic birding tips on how to identify what species a bird is\, and what it is not\, by asking “What does it look like? What does it sound like? Where is it? or What is it doing?” \nParticipating organizations include Environmental Science Center\, Seattle Audubon Society\, Rainier Audubon Society\, Seward Park Audubon Center\, Washington Native Plant Society\, Nature Stewards and the National Wildlife Federation. The Environmental Science Center has coordinated Bird Fest with sponsorship from the City of Burien to spread awareness on watershed health through creating native habitat for birds. It promotes the Great Backyard Bird Count\, a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society with partner Bird Studies Canada\, and is made possible in part by founding sponsor Wild Birds Unlimited. \nIn 1998\, this was the first online community-science project to collect data on wild birds and to display results in near real-time. Now\, more than 160\,000 people of all ages and walks of life worldwide join the four-day count each February to create an annual snapshot of the distribution and abundance of birds. This has been a game changer for conservation efforts as no single scientist or team of scientists could hope to document and understand the complex distribution and movements of so many species in such a short time. This information provides a “big picture” about what is happening to bird populations\, which are dynamic and constantly in flux. The longer these data are collected\, the more meaningful they become in helping scientists investigate far-reaching questions concerning weather and climate influences\, migratory patterns\, diseases\, and diversity in urban\, rural and natural areas\, and more. \nIf you help count at the event on Feb. 15\, those species will be entered into eBird\, which is the global online program collecting bird observations every day of the year. However\, if you cannot attend Bird Fest\, you can still count Feb. 14-17\, or any other time\, and submit your findings on eBird. Scientists cannot be everywhere you are\, especially in your backyard\, so just 15 minutes can make a big difference for birds! \nREGISTER\nTo REGISTER and find or more information on Bird Fest\, please visit EnvironmentalScienceCenter.org or call 206-248-4266. \nMORE INFO \n\n\n\nFor more information on the Great Backyard Bird Count\, visit Birdcount.org\nFor more information on eBird\, visit ebird.org.\nFor help identifying local birds\, visit Seattle Audubon Society’s Birdweb.org.\nFor more event info\, visit https://www.facebook.com/events/178861046534197/.

SUMMARY:Chamber's 2020 PNW Economic Equity Summit will be Friday\, Feb. 28
DESCRIPTION:The PNW Economic Equity Summit\, a collaborative event between the Seattle Southside and Renton Chambers of Commerce and originally scheduled for Jan. 17\, has been rescheduled to Friday\, Feb. 28. \nIt will be held from 7 – 11 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington in Renton. \nDue to the inclement weather and the impact of the lost days on registered attendees\, the planning team decided to reschedule. The primary goal with this event is to create a collaborative event produced in partnership with the Seattle Southside Chamber and the Renton Chamber to gather regional business leaders\, policymakers\, and the community together to find real solutions to the challenges our community faces—specifically the economic inequity prevalent in King County.What became apparent was\, due to varying weather and driving conditions across our region\, we were losing the geographic participation we had hoped for as well as the inclusive and diverse audience. \nIn an effort to maximize engagement and in hope of better driving/weather conditions across the greater Puget Sound area\, the event has been rescheduled to a date that our speakers and pitch presenters are able to accommodate: Friday\, Feb. 28\, 2020. \nWHAT: 2020 PNW Economic Equity Summit \nWHEN: Friday\, Feb. 28\, 2020: 7 a.m. – 11 a.m. \nWHERE: Hyatt Regency Lake Washington\, 1053 Lake Washington Blvd N\, Renton\, WA 98056 \nREGISTER: Register Here \nAs our local economy continues to soar and be the envy of many\, too many are also left out of the ride in prosperity. Gentrification has forced small businesses out of locations they’ve held for years and families are priced out of communities they’ve called home for generations. Many public agencies and private companies include equity initiatives as a goal or standard\, but are we taking decisive enough action to encourage and promote meaningful change? This event will challenge\,inspire\, and educate business leaders and policymakers on best practices and current trends as well as celebrate successes and encourage dialogue previously not part of the conversation. \nIndustry leaders and subject matter experts will serve as judges and hear proposals from our community on solutions to creating more economic equity in King County. Those proposals will be presented “pitch-style” at the first-ever Economic Equity Summit. This will be an interactive and purposefully collaborative and curated event to ensure equity is encouraged and promoted throughout. Attendees will also be entered to win our new door prize: 2 Alaska Airline Vouchers. A $2\,500 value\, these vouchers will allow our lucky winner and a guest to fly anywhere Alaska Airlines flies. \nThank you to all our sponsors\, including our Tier 1 Sponsors: Port of Seattle\, Kaiser Permanente\, and City of Renton. Sponsorship and engagement opportunities are still available. Please contact Ben Andrews at BAndrews@GoRenton.com for more information or feel free to call the Renton Chamber at (425) 226-4560 or the Seattle Southside Chamber at (206) 575-1633. \nThis event will only be possible and it’s most successful if we are able to gather and encourage both financial and strategic support of businesses\, individuals\, and public agencies that share our passion and desire to create more economic equity in King County. We hope you will partner with us. \n \nAbout the Renton Chamber of Commerce\nThe Renton Chamber’s mission is to improve business and economic conditions and the general welfare of the community. To that end\, the Chamber is in the business of serving business\, as it has for decades. The Chamber offers its members leadership development\, networking opportunities\, advocacy\, and resources to promote business prosperity. \nAbout the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce\nThe Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit business organization that has served the communities of Burien\, Des Moines\, Normandy Park\, SeaTac\, and Tukwila since 1988.  The Chamber focuses on business advancement in the region by helping to build and maintain a strong economic environment.
