Program Overview

Our Think & Drink program has been suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we are holding numerous livestreamed and in-person events through our Speakers Bureau and other programs, and you can watch fascinating recorded conversations on our YouTube channel.

Our Think & Drink events are hosted conversations at pubs and tasting rooms on provocative topics and new ideas.

Experts, artists, and activists from a variety of disciplines participate in a moderated discussion, with a strong emphasis on audience participation. Past events tackled topics from consumerism to political polarization, geoengineering, race in the Pacific Northwest, and many more, and sparked lively conversation about morality, religion, history, and politics. Events are held periodically throughout the year in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Yakima, the Tri-Cities, and Bellingham.

This program is made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Norcliffe Foundation.
