EVERETT – U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen plan to meet in Everett on Wednesday with local business leaders in the automobile, housing and banking industries to discuss how the current recession is affecting the state.
The roundtable discussion is expected to include stories and statistics from employers on dwindling profits and tightening budgets, real estate agents speaking about home prices and economic experts talking about the region’s needs.
The meeting comes as congressional leaders begin discussion on a new economic stimulus package that they hope can jumpstart the local economy.
The roundtable will be held at 12:30 p.m. in the first-floor meeting room of the Robert J. Drewel Building on the Snohomish County campus, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett. The meeting was originally scheduled to be held in the eighth-floor City Council Meeting Room, 2930 Wetmore Ave., Everett.
The meeting is open to the public, but seating is limited. People who plan to attend are asked to RSVP by sending an e-mail to shawn_bills@murray.senate.gov.
