Downtown Seattle has made real progress — it's more vibrant, safe and inspiring than it’s been in years. The stats the Downtown Seattle Association shared at the State of Downtown last week reflect what we see and feel from our office at 1st and Pike. Crime is down. Tourism is up. The number of behavioral health specialists has increased. And more locals are rediscovering downtown. We’re grateful for DSA’s leadership and commitment to making downtown better and better. #SOD2025 #DowntownSeattle
We joined the Downtown Spokane Partnership at its annual meeting last week to celebrate the people and businesses who invest in Spokane every day. DH is a business with a downtown Spokane office, glad to be part of a community that supports local companies and a thriving city center. And we add our thanks to DSP’s Clean Team and Ambassadors for helping to create a friendly, vibrant downtown.
African Americans have made significant contributions to the labor force, driving innovation and economic growth. Despite systemic barriers, Black communities have continually shaped industries and advanced economic progress. Community development financial institutions, or CDFIs, support this legacy by providing equitable access to financial resources. Denkyem Co-op is one of our CDFI partners helping to create economic mobility in Black communities, providing affordable lending and support services to Black-owned small businesses. This year’s Black History Month theme of "African Americans and Labor" celebrates the pivotal role of Black workers and entrepreneurs in building the nation’s economy. It also highlights the important efforts by Denkyem and other CDFIs to foster long-term economic success — a key part of broader social justice.
DEI is more than a concept to us. Diversity, equity and inclusion live at the core of our approach to communication and social impact marketing.

Thank you Association of Washington Business for leading this effort to continue building up Washington's communities. Michelle Hege and Marc Berger took part in important conversations about shaping the future of business in Washington at #AWBday25
Marc Berger and I attended AWB’s Legislative Day and Hill Climb yesterday and heard Governor Ferguson and Commerce Director Nguyen talk about their vision for strengthening Washington. I loved their focus on bold solutions, pragmatic problem-solving and asking how government can work better for Washingtonians. They both grew up around family small businesses and know when small businesses thrive, communities thrive. #AWBday25
DH's Melissa Hedwall and Ian Hanson?joined civic and business leaders at the?Bellevue Downtown Association Annual Celebration?last week to celebrate Bellevue's ongoing growth and commitment to placemaking through community-centered public spaces.

Wishing our partners at Friends of Little Saigon and across Seattle's?Chinatown-International District a happy Lunar New Year! We attended last year's festivities to spread awareness about fraud prevention. We were delighted to experience the traditions of the day. Thank you to our community partners and the many organizations who share their cultural traditions and bring people together during this special celebration.

Is planning ahead fun? Maybe not, but these spots we launched with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission definitely are. DH's Mark Fox presented about this DUI prevention campaign at the Pacific Northwest Social Marketing Association SPARKS Conference in December, alongside Erica Stineman. The campaign reframes DUI prevention messaging by focusing on behavior change at an earlier stage, encouraging people ages 21 to 35 (the highest-risk group) to plan their sober rides home before going out. Along with the English- and Spanish-language PSAs, we produced radio spots in six languages, short social media videos, and out-of-home creative for bars, restaurants and gas stations throughout Washington. Thanks to our production partner, Offbeat Films!
