Good Choices for a Better Future
In September 2006, as the Grand Opening event for High Point, The SEATTLE GREEN LIVING EXPO brought together builders, developers, architects, city planners, building suppliers and about 10,000 members of the home buying public in an unprecedented showcase of the latest innovations for sustainable urban livability.
The SEATTLE GREEN LIVING EXPO opened the doors of five homes for sale, two rental homes and the entire sustainable community of High Point to demonstrate both practical and cutting edge ideas in sustainable, Built Green™ and ENERGY STAR® living. In addition to public tours of model homes, booths, workshops and seminars educated consumers and industry leaders on how to create healthier buildings, communities, and lifestyles.
