Everything is getting ready for our River Festival!

The Duwamish River Festival is a celebration of community, connection, and the shared vision we hold for the future of the Duwamish Valley. It brings together neighbors, families, youth, elders, artists, and community organizations to honor the river that has shaped our history and continues to connect us today.

At its heart, the festival is about people coming together across cultures, generations, and backgrounds to celebrate the strength, resilience, and diversity of our community. Through music, art, storytelling, cultural traditions, and hands-on activities, we create a space where everyone belongs and every voice matters.

We toured Terminal 5 . As one of the largest Ports in the US #6, the role the Port of Seattle plays in global trade and the local economy. Seeing the scale of the operations firsthand also brought up important environmental justice conversations about how industrial development affects nearby communities.

The tour highlighted both the economic importance of the port and the environmental and public health concerns connected to increased shipping activity, air pollution, and waterfront industrialization in surrounding neighborhoods.

It was a helpful reminder that conversations about sustainability and growth are closely connected to questions of equity, community impact, and long-term environmental responsibility.

Thankful for the opportunity to visit and to be in community asking important questions ( 🙌🏽 Khalia) as well as witness first hand all the important work we are doing with our Clean Air Program . Learn more www.drcc.org/cleanair
