The City of Seattle has been honored with the prestigious All-America City Award by the National Civic League for a second year in a row. This recognition celebrates Seattle's work to actively engage residents in the pursuit of environmental goals.

Earlier this year, communities from across the country submitted written applications showcasing their efforts to bring people together, create positive change, and build thriving, resilient communities. The City of Seattle’s application was chosen as one of twenty finalists to compete in the All-America City Award competition in Denver, June 27-29. A delegation comprised of City staff and community members attended the competition where they presented their work to a jury of nationally recognized civic leaders. After careful deliberation, the jury selected ten winning communities, including the City of Seattle.
