DSA/MID Annual Meeting & Party

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 DSA/MID Annual Meeting & Party, presented by Alaska Airlines, at Bell Harbor International Conference Center.

Together, we celebrated the people, partnerships and progress that continue to shape a vibrant downtown Seattle. Members, ratepayers and community leaders gathered to reflect on the past year, honor outstanding service and look ahead to the opportunities that lie ahead.

During the program, DSA President & CEO Jon Scholes shared key accomplishments from the past year and outlined priorities for the year ahead.

We also welcomed new DSA and MID board leadership and recognized the dedication and impact of our MID ambassadors, whose work helps make downtown Seattle a cleaner, safer and more welcoming place every day.

A highlight of the event was the presentation of the 2026 DSA/MID Lee Townsend Ambassador of the Year award to Graciela of the Clean Team, recognizing her exceptional service and commitment to downtown.

The City Maker of the Year award was presented to Jack McCullough, and we released our 2026 Annual Report video.

The celebration continued with a post-program reception overlooking Elliott Bay, where attendees connected with fellow members and partners while enjoying food, drinks and music.

Thank you for being part of this special event and for your continued support of our shared mission to create a healthy, vibrant downtown for all.
