Apologies for the short notice, and I hope some of you can attend an important roundtable discussion in person or online. If you are worried about the challenges posed by the housing crisis, or want to learn how innovative appropriate dispute resolution techniques can resolve real estate conflict and prevent homelessness, please join us.
This event is part of a two-year effort among many stakeholders to create a new program for the Seattle area, one focused in particular on providing tenants and landlords fast, inexpensive, non-adversarial, and highly effective tools to resolve disputes.
Questions and comments welcome!
