The Public Safety Roundtable is a quarterly meeting for those who are interested in being more engaged or receiving more information about public safety issues impacting our Southwest King County Business Community.

Join us to hear from Police Chiefs or their representatives from Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, SeaTac and Tukwila with a special feature from King County Councilmember, Dave Upthegrove and the Public Defender Association group for additional resources. 

Thank you for engaging with us and being part of our community.

Our Land Acknowledgment:
As we gather, we respectfully acknowledge that our event is taking place on occupied Coast Salish land and that Seattle Southside Chamber is on the homelands of the Duwamish people. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous people. 

Why do we recognize the land? 
To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on and a way of honoring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. It is important to understand the long-standing history that has brought you to reside on the land and to seek to understand your place within that history. Land acknowledgments do not exist in a past tense or historical context: colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to build the mindfulness of our present participation. It is also worth noting that acknowledging the land is Indigenous protocol.
