Tacoma, Wash. – What makes a strong community? What about a healthy community? And what the heck is a Blue Zone? Communities are influenced by the built environment around them, with things like road design and access to green spaces impacting everything from health outcomes to job opportunities. Join Downtown On the Go for a panel exploring how communities come together to tackle issues and build resilience through organizing and connection.
