Transition Seattle is an alliance of organizations and individuals who believe in living within the limits of the earth's resources, with healthier lifestyles, and in resilient, creative, just, and collaborative communities. We believe in everyone's imagination, everyone's passions, everyone's skills and experience. We believe that envisioning and living the future we want is the first step to bringing that future into being.

Transition Seattle supports existing organizations and individuals in our city by giving them an opportunity to recognize their common interests and support each other. Transition Seattle provides a platform where the collective voices supporting a resilient city can be heard. We are seeking input from other organizations and individuals about how all of our groups can promote resilience in Seattle.

"While peak oil and climate change are undeniably profoundly challenging, also inherent within them is the potential for an economic, cultural and social renaissance the likes of which we have never seen. We will see a flourishing of local businesses, local skills and solutions, and a flowering of ingenuity and creativity. It is a Transition in which we will inevitably grow, and in which our evolution is a precondition for progress. Emerging at the other end, we will not be the same as we were; we will have become more humble, more connected to the natural world, fitter, leaner, more skilled and, ultimately, wiser." -- Rob Hopkins, The Transition Handbook
