Hybrid work is here for the foreseeable future.
“Right now, we’re at a key moment for downtown Seattle: the city is facing record high commercial vacancy rates, loss of foot traffic, and a catastrophic financial cliff if businesses don’t return to downtown Seattle.
“Our leaders in elected office are putting together robust plans on public safety, transit, and downtown revitalization. The public sector is also committed to bringing their employees back to the office. As the business community is demanding solutions on these issues, we have a responsibility to do our part.
“Hybrid work is here for the foreseeable future, and while every company has a unique culture, business model, and workforce, more than 90% of downtown Seattle employers are back full time in office or embracing a structured hybrid approach.”
