November 9 Program – Lake City: Challenges and Opportunities

 

Lake City has been through a lot — from the devastating loss of our beloved community center, to the closure of Fred Meyer, to the challenges and debates around housing and homelessness. Yet through it all, the spirit of Lake City remains strong, determined, and deeply connected. Now is the time to come together, share our experiences, and chart a path forward — together.
