Pacific Tower | Panoramic Room

The fourth annual Cocktails & Connections was a hit! Scrumptious food, delicious drinks, and an incredible view were only the beginning. The crowd played a trivia game, watched the premiere of a video by Kyle Seago about HSDC’s services, and took in an inspiring speech by Mike James, former KING-5 anchorman and former HSDC board member.
The night is over, but you can still support HSDC with a donation.

Our Cocktails & Connections event, originally scheduled for March 5, was canceled in accordance with safety recommendations by Seattle & King County Public Health. It was not an easy decision. We were looking forward to seeing the community, and it is our largest fundraising event of the year. HSDC relies on the funds raised at Cocktails & Connections to help us do our work.
Even though we weren’t able to show you the results of all of our preparation, we wanted to give you a taste of what we had planned for the night. Enjoy the videos below, and consider a donation to HSDC.
