City of Longview Hosts Citizen Summit to
Shape Community’s Future
LONGVIEW, WA – February 19, 2025 – The City of Longview is inviting residents to participate in the
2025 Citizen Summit, an interactive event focused on shaping the city’s future through collaboration
and action. This year’s theme, Focus on What’s Strong, Not What’s Wrong, encourages residents to
build on the city’s strengths and identify tangible steps for progress.
The summit will be held on two separate dates to accommodate different schedules at the Woman’s
Club at 835 21st Ave. Citizens only need to attend one session on either Wednesday, March 19, from
6:00 – 8:00 p.m. or Saturday, March 22, from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
“Longview has incredible potential, and this summit is about harnessing that energy to move forward
together,” said Mayor Spencer Boudreau.
“We’re not just talking about challenges—we’re focusing on
what makes our city great and how we can build on that for the future. Every voice matters, and I
encourage all residents to attend and be part of the conversation.”
Discussions will be guided by City Council members encouraging practical, action-oriented ideas.
Participants will explore key questions such as:
• What strengths make Longview unique?
• What partnerships or resources can we build on?
• What small steps can we take to create meaningful progress?
• Imagine Longview as a thriving, vibrant community. What does that look like?
