POSTPONED:
2020 Spring Luncheon &
Livable Communities Awards
We were so looking forward to seeing you Friday to celebrate Futurewise’s 30th anniversary. However, in light in King County Public Health’s most recent guidelines to discourage public gatherings, we have decided to postpone Friday’s luncheon and panel. This decision was not made lightly and was made in consideration to protect the health of our guests and our community.
We are working to confirm an alternative date for the luncheon and panel. In the meantime, we hope you and your guests can support Futurewise with a donation. We had planned to raise $40,000 in the room on Friday, funding that is time-sensitive and crucial to continuing our legislative and legal advocacy across Washington.
Join us to celebrate 30 years of Futurewise and the Growth Management Act
We’re honoring the contributions of the community activists, legislators, and staffers who helped pass the Growth Management Act thirty years ago, celebrating the founders and leaders of Futurewise who have stewarded the organization for three decades, and shining a spotlight on the next generation of smart growth leaders across Washington.

Meet our panelists!
Zahra Roach calls Pasco, Washington home although Anchorage, Alaska is the place of her birth and early childhood. Councilwoman Roach began her term on Pasco City Council in January 2020. Prior to Pasco City Council, she was on the Pasco Planning Commission for eight years. Pasco has grown exponentially since 2000, doubling its population. Councilwoman Roach is enthusiastic about guiding Pasco’s growth in a sustainable and meaningful way.
Starting her first term in 2020, Navarra Carr serves as the Deputy Mayor for the City of Port Angeles and is excited to represent her community in this new capacity. Navarra enjoys spending time outside, including backpacking in Olympic National Park, sailing on the Strait, and visiting the local farmer’s market. These interests led Navarra to her current work as the office manager for North Olympic Land Trust, a nonprofit that permanently conserves lands in Clallam County, Washington.
Dani Madrone was recently elected to the Olympia City Council. She has a career in Puget Sound recovery with the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. She has worked for several local organizations on issues of the environment, housing, climate change, transportation, and food systems. She has been an advocate for urban density, particularly through her activism with Olympians for People-Oriented Places.
