The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber is delighted to announce that it has partnered with essDOCS Certification to offer a new online Certificate of Origin application platform, essCert.

The essCert platform has been developed with Exporters and Forwarders in mind and is fast, flexible and easy to use. Please see attached a list of Exporter Benefits which include, Database of saved Consignors/Consignees; Edit rejected applications; Client Help Centre.

On Monday, April 29th 2019, the new platform will be live. Any document applications that have been applied for through the existing platform, eCertify, will not be processed after that date.

If you are an existing eCertify user your new essCert profile will have been created automatically. You will however need to retrieve new login details. You can retrieve these login details from the morning of April 29th onwards, not before. To do so please go to www.esscert.com/retrieve and enter your email address then press the Retrieve button. Your login details will then be sent to that email address. If you experience any issues retrieving your login details please contact support@esscert.com

Please visit the short guide on how to apply for a Certificate of Origin using the essCert platform.

Remember, Monday 29th of April the essCert platform will be live. Any document applications that have been applied for through the existing platform, eCertify, will not be processed after that date.

TACOMA, Wash. – The Tahoma Business Environmental Award is presented annually by the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber to a local business for its outstanding environmental stewardship.
 
This year’s award was presented to Ocean5 – Table 47 of Gig Harbor, Washington.
 
Ocean5 – Table 47 received the Tahoma Business Environmental Award for, among other things, it’s innovative building which was awarded the LEED Silver certification in September 2018 for their building design. Some key features include:
  • 3.6 miles of geothermal wells under the parking lot that heat and cool the entire building
  • 22 bowling lanes using string pinsetters, using less energy than motorized free falling pins
  • LED lights throughout the building, including the two-story laser arena
  • Carpet made of 100% recycled carpet content, including material made of discarded commercial fishing nets left in the oceans
  • Recycled wine corks used in the Salish Sea Lounge walls
  • Grown and raised ingredients, working with local farmers in Gig Harbor and Pierce County
  • Over 40 local taps of beer and wine, sending fewer individual bottles to the landfill
 
Visit Ocean5 – Table 47 for more information.
 
The Chamber is proud to recognize forward-thinking businesses and organizations throughout Tacoma and Pierce County. Congratulations, Ocean5 – Table 47! 
 
The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber is a member-based, business and economic-growth organization, dedicated to making the South Sound the best place to do business in Washington State.
