Bravery meets humor as Seattle community members share their quirky and personal stories in a packed Town Hall Seattle.

Ignite Seattle continues its tradition of giving platform and elevation of diverse stories from the Seattle community. This time around 12 speakers were chosen out of 70 submissions. This events talks ranged from the sordid and nutty history of the poop emoji pillow to a warmhearted transplant bracing the Seattle freeze, creating a full proof high tech cat door and the adventures of a transgender rock band in a rural Washington bar. The atmosphere at these events are often highly energetic, and the crowds are poised to show support to each of the speakers.
