Soap Lake looks for input on creative district

SOAP LAKE — On Jan. 5 an introductory meeting was held in Soap Lake to gauge interest and educate interested parties in what a creative district is and what it could mean for the city. “I know that we have a lot of dreamers in this community, and what we want to talk about tonight is, do we have some doers,” said Soap Lake City Council Member Kayleen Bryson, who is also on the Soap Lake Economic Development Committee. According to the Washington State Arts Commission, a creative district’s purpose is to help communities strengthen their creative sector, diversify their economy and enhance the quality of life by creating a focal point of cultural and economic activity.
