Sustainable Seattle

We support frontline communities in cultivating a thriving future through environmental justice initiatives that foster equity and build resilience.

Sustainable Seattle (S2) is a community-based organization that provides direct support to community sustainability and environmental justice organizers, supports research and advocacy for a more just and sustainable Seattle, and brings like-minded folks together at community events to meet, connect, and build our movement for a just and sustainable region!

We define sustainability as the ancient and enduring practice of creating richness in natural resources, attuning to nature's environmental indicators, and providing equitable access to health, food, shelter, and economic wealth for all people.

Testimonials

JEANNE ALLEN, Sustainable Seattle Member

"Sustainable Seattle brings together a group of individuals that I find uniquely creative, open, honest, and kind. I became a member in the fall of 2020 after attending a powerful Green Drinks conversation on meaningful work. I had temporarily relocated to Tucson, AZ earlier in the year and I wanted to feel more connected to the Puget Sound community that I had left behind. The combination of the pandemic, the urgent organizing around racial and social justice, and the departure from my adopted home of four years had me at a crossroads. That evening, I found I was not alone."
