Climate Solutions is excited to invite you to our Annual Dinner on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, from 5:00–8:30 PM at the Westin Seattle.
We are honored to welcome Wawa Gatheru, Founder and Executive Director of Black Girl Environmentalist, as our keynote speaker. Earlier this week, our staff storyteller Ayana Harscoet had the opportunity to sit down with Wawa for a conversation. Here’s a short excerpt from their discussion:
As part of the evening’s program, we’re also pleased to feature former Washington Governor Jay Inslee, a longtime champion for bold climate progress and now a a Climate Solutions board member, alongside Board President Emiko Atherton, Executive Director Gregg Small, and Deputy Director Savitha Reddy Pathi.
