Thank you to all the citizen’s groups and organizations that worked so hard to keep the Russell Investments Group in Tacoma. And thank you to Russell and its many generous employees who have contributed so much to all our communities in this area.
Russell could help its “hometown” community by donating the cost of the lease on its soon-to-be-empty Tacoma building to our local colleges and technical schools for their use as a higher education center. As many people try to upskill themselves to beat the recession and unemployment, students are jamming our local community and technical colleges and the University of Washington Tacoma. The Russell building would make a great central teaching center.
Education is the most powerful tool we have to pull our way out of the hole Russell will leave behind. Let’s see one last generous act by our Russell friends.
