Respectful. Collaborative. A distinct lack of honking car horns. Seattle "Nice" permeates the way its residents live and do business every day. It's a pleasant refuge from an increasingly rough-and-tumble world. But given this globally competitive landscape, should we be doing more to climb our way to the top? Or is our pleasantness sufficient to distinguish us from the madding crowd? And what does this mean for the Pacific Northwest's place in the world? We'll explore these questions with Adam Brotman from Starbucks, and Leigh Canlis of Canlis Glass through their business, philanthropy, technology and arts perspectives. We'll also engage on-camera with creative thought leaders in this provocative Four Peaks premiere episode. The University of Washington is committed to ensuring digital accessibility in our services, programs, and activities.
