State of the Cities

Our first State of the Cities event was held January 24, 2023. This new, annual Chamber event allows city leaders to provide relevant updates to all who live or work in the cities of Puyallup and Sumner. As our annual Economic Forecast Luncheon has evolved, the Chamber saw the need to move city updates to a separate, dedicated event.
