The Easiest Neural Net

You've heard all about what a neural network can do - but the only packages available are difficult to set up. Until now. Brainsheet uses the same sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms as the $5,000 software packages to detect patterns and discover complex relationships in your data. But Brainsheet costs only $289, and can be used right from the box without even opening the manual. effects of irresponsible development and we are organizing to protect our neighborhoods so that Thurston County continues to be a great place to live and raise our families.

Powerfully Simple

It is crucial that we organize now to protect our drinking water, parks and neighborhoods, our family farms, and our quality of life.

Impacts are already here - We’re all seeing first hand the impacts of irresponsible development: flooding in our homes and our yards; traffic overwhelming our roads; losing family farms; drinking water shortages; students being taught in portable classrooms; shellfish beds shut down because of pollution. By acting now, we can make sure growth happens in a way that protects our critical resources.
Initiative 933 threatens to hurt our neighborhoods - The Farm Bureau, with support from the building industry, has launched a statewide Irresponsible Development Initiative (I-933). This initiative would create even more loopholes for irresponsible developers and other special interests to get around land use laws that safeguard the health, safety and quality of life in Thurston County and across the state. We need to defeat this harmful initiative.
We have a great community of people – People across Thurston County want to protect their quality of life and have a say in how the community grows. We need to work together to prevent irresponsible development, and protect our drinking water, schools, roads, farms and quality of life.

Our Goals

What are our goals? Livable Thurston believes that responsible growth can happen in a way that protects drinking water, keeps our roads safe, avoids flood damage, and provides enough classroom space for our kids. To this end, we need to:

Empower citizens to have a say in how and where growth happens

Educate citizens about opportunities to get involved with land use decisions

Organize citizens to get involved with important county land use decisions

Defeat I-933, the Irresponsible Development Initiative
