Grameen Foundation Technology Center: Celebrating 10 Years

It’s been 10 years since Grameen Foundation Technology Center first opened its doors in Seattle. To celebrate this milestone, we will be hosting a series of events to share the successes of the last decade while we look ahead to the innovative ways that, with your support, we will continue to fight global poverty using the mobile phone.
 
  

 

Join us for these 10-Year Anniversary Celebration events:
 

September 28, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Happy Hour | How Mobile Phones Can Improve Health Outcomes in Developing Countries
Tim Wood, Director of Mobile Health Innovation 
 

Directions

We are located in Belltown on 4th Avenue, between Lenora and Blanchard.  Get directions here. A Grameen Foundation volunteer will be in the building lobby to greet you and direct you to our 15th floor office. Our address is 2101 4th Ave, Suite 1550, Seattle, WA 98121.

Bus Routes and Parking

Street parking is prevalent around the office and is metered until 6 p.m.  There are also several public parking garages and surface lots available in the area, including the Warwick Hotel at 401 Lenora Street (entrance on 4th).  We do not recommend the parking lot under our office building as it closes promptly at 6 p.m. Please note that we are unable to validate parking.
