The City of Auburn podcast announced logistics and local arts events tied to the cityalendar.
Hosts said the State of the City address will be held at 6 p.m. and is expected to run about an hour and a half. For residents without tickets, the podcast said the city will host a stream of the event on the City of Auburn website (auburnwa.gov/sotc). The hosts also noted a separate community streamer would carry the event.
The episode highlighted a concert billed as "Buddy, Ritchie and the Bopper" at Green River College on Saturday, Feb. 28; hosts said tickets can be purchased online or at the door. The podcast also previewed the Auburn Community Playersast of Legally Blonde, which opens Friday, March 13 at Green River College, and said future performances will appear at the Auburn Avenue Theater as that venue develops.
Jonathan Vogler, the podcast host and communications manager, told listeners there will be "some fun videos" associated with the State of the City and that the city would post the event stream and follow-up video on its channels.
Why it matters: State of the City presentations summarize municipal priorities and are a primary public update from city leadership; streaming expands access for residents who cannot attend in person. The events mentioned provide community arts and cultural opportunities for local residents.
The podcast directed listeners to the city's online calendar and streaming page for schedules and ticket information.
