your business needs a voice.

As the Voice for Business, the Chamber works at Local, State, and Federal Levels to represent your business interests, ensuring that the South Sound remains a desirable place to build and grow business.

This means you can concentrate on running your business while we meet with elected officials, community leaders, and business stakeholders to create and sustain pro-business policy that will provide a favorable climate for your business to succeed.

The Chamber works closely with the Port of Tacoma and its surrounding industrial businesses so that it will remain one of the South Sound's greatest economic driving forces. ​

The Chamber works to ensure a healthy regional economy associated with the development of an effective, efficient transportation system and the resources to sustain it.

Through strategic partnerships, the Chamber acts to ensure Joint Base Lewis-McChord remains a viable installation and employer. We also support transitioning military and spouses by providing employment placement assistance.

The Chamber advocates on behalf of businesses throughout Pierce County, at the State Legislature, and with Congressional delegates & federal agencies. Leveraging our resources and relationships, we are able to take a proactive role in discussions concerning policy decisions and regulations.
