Joining the Chamber offers valuable opportunities to grow your business, build connections, and increase visibility. Members benefit from advocacy on key business issues, networking events, promotional opportunities, and improved SEO through our online directory. With tools like the ChamberMaster Membership Database and volunteer opportunities, businesses can boost their presence while supporting the community.

Business Advocacy

The Chamber works hand-in-hand with various political and city agencies to help assure businesses are represented and protected as they conduct their day-to-day operations, including on issues that surround permitting and licensing.

Business to Business Networking Opportunities

The Chamber hosts multiple events every month that are free for participants. (For ticketed events, see the sponsorship / events pages.) Come with your business cards and be prepared to share!

• Wake Ups: Held every first and second Thursday morning of each month. Mingle over coffee and network with fellow business owners.

• Business After Hours: Held throughout the year at a sponsoring business. Come mingle and enjoy refreshments as you learn about the featured business of the month.

• Ribbon Cuttings: Held sporadically throughout the year. Show support for your business community, and visit with both members and locals.

Promote Your Business At the Washington State Fair

Every year the Chamber runs an information booth at the Washington State Fair. Members can sign up for 4 hr shifts, wear their own logo-wear, and represent their business as they interact with fair visitors. The fair boasts 5 million visitors annually. This gives members the opportunity to enhance their business presence in the community and network with other business owners, residents, and potential clients.

Visit Magazine

Our directory is a high-gloss, magazine-style publication that we personally update and reprint every year. It’s a comprehensive guide to the city, and a go-to resource for both tourists and local residents alike. Magazine distributions include the Visitor’s Center, Washington State Fair Booth, Seattle-Tacoma Ferries, airports, and the lobbies of many local businesses, including hotels, apartments, and banks.

Directory Listing on Our Website

Our website has a comprehensive directory that is interactive and mobile friendly, which can help site visitors find you and your business. Your basic web listing includes a short description, hours of operation, driving directions, and keyword description area. Over 100,000 unique impression annually.
