In their twentieth year, Futurewise remains one of the most important organizations in the country, working hard for a higher quality of life in Spokane and Washington state.


 In case you’re unaware, Futurewise is “a statewide public interest group working to promote healthy communities and cities while protecting farmland, forests and shorelines today and for future generations.”

(Update: Photo by Paul K. Haeder. Apologies for the error.)

Founded in 1990 (the same year the Growth Management Act was passed in Washington State), they’re the only statewide group in Washington working to ensure that local governments manage growth responsibly - essentially the state’s primary advocate for smart growth policies as well as responsible land use, conservation, neighborhood walkability and alternative transportation…all the good things.

Tonight is your chance to support Futurewise with the 4th annual Feast For Friends at the Beacon Hill Center, 4848 E. Wellesley from 6:00-9:00pm.

This open style reception features progressive culinary tastings. Each station will have a winery, brewery, distillery with a selection for tasting and chef serving special dishes made from ingredients provided by local farms and food providers. So fill up your plate and hold up your glass in support of Futurewise's work to protect farm land and promote healthy communities.

Details after the jump and I hope to see you there.
