TACOMA, Wash. -- The City of Tacoma’s work to modernize its Council Chambers – a vital space for engagement between the City Council, City leadership, residents, businesses, community partners and other stakeholders – is set to begin on May 22. Planned upgrades designed to improve accessibility and foster more productive face-to-face conversations include the removal of the first two rows of chairs and the installation of a conference table in front of the dais.

City Council meetings will take place in the Tacoma Public Utilities Auditorium (3628 S. 35th St., Tacoma) starting June 4 at 5 PM. The City’s work to modernize its Council Chambers is projected to be complete in early July.
