As locals, we know the cost of living in Seattle has continued to increase in recent years. We all want to make a conscious effort to save for the future, while also enjoying travels, experiences and an occasional shopping spree (we’re only humanJ). In an effort to help the community not lose sleep over topics like savings and debt, our client Mattress Firm is hosting its “Under the Sheets: Let’s Talk Money” speaker series at WeWork in South Lake Union on Monday, April 23, 2018. You can RSVP for this free event here! The “Under the Sheets” panel will feature local experts to speak on topics like making the most of your finances, supercharging your savings, stretching your dollar when shopping, traveling and more. Additionally, attendees can ask experts their own questions through an audience Q&A and mingling hour. The speaker panel includes:

• Stacey Black, financial educator at BECU
• Portia Smith, lifestyle and travel blogger at Obsessed by Portia
• James Champa, district manager at Mattress Firm
• Stacia Weishaar, sales manager at Homestreet Bank
