The city of Snoqualmie is gearing up for a monthly Sustainability Speakers Forum.

From February through June, regional and local experts will visit the city to talk about sustainability: what it is, how it affects people and how people affect it.

The first of five sessions is 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16. Titled “Laying the Foundation: Environmental concerns globally and locally,” this first session will address global energy and environmental concerns, sustainability issues and how local residents are part of such trends.

All sessions are free and open to the public. They will take place at Snoqualmie City Hall, 38624 S.E. River St.

Details will be posted at www.cityofsnoqualmie.wa.us. To be notified via e-mail of speakers and topics, write to info@ci.snoqualmie.wa.us.
