Advocacy
A Policy Partner For Your Business
The Seattle Metro Chamber is the only Chamber in the region working on your behalf at the city, county, state and federal levels.
Your priorities are our priorities, and we’re here to ensure Seattle’s business landscape remains strong, equitable, and forward-thinking.
The Chamber annually hosts 96 elected officials at our events.
Chamber members annually send up to 600 emails to legislators championing business community priorities.
In addition to our role as a policy advocate, we are convener and a community partner in broad-based coalitions on issues we all care about, from transportation to housing affordability.
