Join Tacoma Rising for a one-of-a-kind event that bridges the gap between Tacoma’s business community and the city’s next potential leader. In advance of the event, Tacoma Rising founder Reid Fetters will conduct individual, pre-recorded interviews with each of the mayoral candidates, asking them all the same set of business-focused questions.
At the event, attendees will gather for a private listening party to watch these interviews together in a collaborative setting. Following the recordings, we will open the floor for a live conversation, continuing the dialogue and inviting follow-up questions from the audience.
Each candidate has been invited to attend in person to hear feedback and answer direct questions from Tacoma’s business leaders. This is your chance to go beyond campaign slogans and hear what these candidates envision for Tacoma’s future, specifically regarding economic development, infrastructure, and the city’s commercial landscape.
This is not a debate or townhall.
 It is a forum for listening, learning, and engaging with intention focused around the business community. Political topics outside the scope of business and development will not be addressed.
Enjoy a curated evening of networking, insightful conversation, and light refreshments, all provided by The Lobster Shop. Designed for Tacoma professionals committed to driving the city forward, this event offers a rare opportunity to connect with key decision-makers and peers in an informed and meaningful way.
Let’s shape the future of Tacoma together.
