With the current and promising growth of Seattle’s latest developments, there has been a great need for a network and place to bring together this town’s talent and give them an opportunity to build new ventures.

In a time when Seattle has witnessed ripples of seismic political changes bringing the professional community together was a fresh breath for all businesses. The changes have touched fashion and arts in many ways too, see now – buy now, men’s and women’s collections coming together and for some brands, the pull to the couture shows. Change can be challenging but SULÉY has enriched the Seattle entrepreneurs by bringing together possibilities of extraordinary innovation which will help businesses thrive.

As I was walking out of the ruins to head home I noticed beautiful vines intertwined in the walkway to the door. It sprinkled an interesting thought in my head. The vine growth enable plants to colonize large areas quickly, even without climbing high. Let’s plant our networking seeds today and grow like a vine finding its way through the slightest opening of the rock-solid walls by connections. Let’s SULÉY!
