Calling all SLU Neighborhood Businesses to
Miss the Mess with SLU Chamber
Traffic in South Lake Union is about to get real hairy. Additional jams are expected to start the week of January 16, when construction on Mercer closes down several neighborhood roads. Our plan? Give people a reason to stay off the roads and stay in the neighborhood during peak commute times. SLU Chamber of Commerce is creating an events listing resource on www.sluchamber.org that will highlight what's happening in South Lake Union from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays.
Does your business host special events, tastings, food happy hours, live music, book readings, karaoke, trivia or other diversions? Yes? Let us know and your listing will be added to our resource page at www.sluchamber.org
SIGN-UP FOR MISS THE MESS
Join us in keeping the community off the roads and enjoying our neighborhood by Missing the Mess. |
