Public Landslide Meetings Offered January 24 and 31
January 14, 2004

Owners of property in landslide-prone areas are invited to attend two public landslide meetings in January. Experts on hand will provide helpful information on topics related to owning and managing property on slopes with slide potential—development, drainage, vegetation, regulations, and permitting requirements.

The meetings will allow time for both a general discussion and one-on-one conversations. They will be held from 10 a.m.-noon on:

  • January 24 - South Seattle Community College/Jerry Brockey Conference Center
  • January 31 - North Seattle Community College Cafeteria

Experts available will include City of Seattle staff, the American Society for Civil Engineers, American Society of Landscape Architects, and the Association of Engineering Geologists.

The public landslide meetings are free and no registration is necessary. For additional information about the meetings, please contact:

Maggie Eaton, DPD, (206) 684-8899, magdalena.eaton@seattle.gov
