2023 celebrated thirty-three ribbon-cutting ceremonies and welcomed forty-eight new members to the Chamber! We now have 480 active Chamber members representing among the best businesses and non-profits in the county.

In 2023 the Chamber launched its first 3-on-3 Basketball tournament. The Chamber also produced the 57th Home & Garden Show and the 73rd annual Santa Parade. We, along with our members, raised $10,000 in Rob Fuller Scholarships and created a new 501-c-3 non-profit organization for the Rob Fuller Scholarship Fund. 

The Seattle-to-Portland (STP) welcomed more than 7,000 cyclists to the area, greeted more than 500 guests at its Visitor’s Center, and answered more than 1,100 calls. 

These photos are a small representation of the 2023 events and activities that shaped our year. 

We look forward to even greater things in 2024!
