SEATTLE— What's making life better in your neighborhood?
The Regional Council is seeking nominations for the VISION 2020 Awards, which recognize creative work by business, government and nonprofits to improve quality of life in King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties.
Examples include building affordable housing and creating family-wage jobs in urban neighborhoods, fixing traffic and providing more ways to get around, protecting clean air and open spaces, and other efforts that are making central Puget Sound a better place to live, work and have fun.
The VISION 2020 Awards will be presented at a banquet in March 2002 attended by mayors and councilmembers representing more than 80 cities, counties and transportation agencies throughout the region.
Any person or organization can propose a nomination.
