On October 5, the Brightwater Education and Community Center kicked off its “Ectober” sustainability series with a free kickoff celebration.
“Ectober” is a four-part seminar series dedicated to fostering sustainability and responsible resource management in the region. This is the first annual iteration of the event, with events held every Wednesday at the Brightwater Center, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Pre-registration is required for all Ectober events—the registration page is located here. Presenters include the King County Wastewater Treatment Division, IslandWood, the City of Bothell, and 4Culture.
Here’s the schedule of events to take place on Wednesdays this month:
