On Wednesday, April 10, 2024, Executive Bruce Dammeier presented the State of the County, which reviewed the challenges faced and successes achieved for the people of Pierce County in 2023. Also shared were the steps being taken to help create a brighter future for Pierce County residents - especially the youngest ones.
To watch the entire State of the County address, visit Pierce County's website. The Pierce County Business Accelerator (PCBA) is proud to partner with the Washington State Fair featuring businesses that shape our communities. The Chamber was proud to join Pierce County Executive Bruce Dammeier, Renee McClain, CEO of the Washington State Fair, and Grant Twyman, NEXT Consulting Firm, in welcoming PCBA graduates as vendors to the Spring Fair during a ribbon cutting ceremony on April 10.

The Tacoma Art Museum was the venue for April’s Chamber After Hours with Georgio’s Catering providing a comfort style food buffet dinner, a well-stocked bar, and even custom branded cookies for attendees to enjoy. During a regular day at the museum, you may mistake the room where the reception was held for a simple wall, but the wall is a huge sliding door that opens to a private room that can accommodate many styles of meetings. It has brightly colored soft seating and greenery to contrast the monochrome interior. The pull-down screen had a slideshow projected on, which flipped through the many offerings of TAM, including a monthly yoga meet up, every Thursday being free to attend, and more. It was many guests’ first Chamber After Hours, and for some it was the first time in a long time that they had been to the Art Museum. Luckily, they were able to take advantage of the opportunity and walked through the halls filled with the creative work of hundreds of artists. The Tacoma Art Museum is a wonderful addition to the museum walk that Tacoma is lucky to have. Just a short walk from the Link Union Station, and open Wednesday through Sunday, go check out this unique museum! If you were unable to make this month’s Chamber After Hours, you can join us in May for the After Hours at our very own Chamber Office. Registration is required and limited due to the capacity restraints. Sign up early to be sure to make it!
Don’t be confused when you’re driving down Pacific Ave in Parkland and you come across a vibrant purple and red restaurant. No, you’re not in New Orleans - you have just discovered Velvet’s Big Easy!
The Chamber was proudly a part of Velvet’s Big Easy’s business milestone celebration on April 2, 2024. Joined by Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland, Pierce County Executive Dammeier, friends, and family, the owner and chef, Brenda Miller, cut the ribbon to commemorate the opening of her beloved restaurant. From rooftop to cement, this homemade Cajun/Creole comfort cuisine eatery will transform you on to the streets of the namesake ‘Big Easy’ Louisianna city. Brenda has worked hard for this dream of hers to come true. She started with a food truck selling her delicious creations and has grown so popular, that she now has her very own restaurant. Before taking on the role of full-time Chef, Brenda was a Quality Assurance Manager at Boeing, which is sure to explain why this homestyle Chef’s dishes are always done to perfection. Brenda is also a Pierce County Business Accelerator (PCBA) program graduate and has been invited to speak about her successes on multiple panels, including the Chamber's 2024 Horizons Economic Forecast. Brenda takes pride in every aspect of her new endeavor, from original art pieces from the New Orleans natives that decorate the walls, to the memorable homage of her inspiration and late husband, Ray Miller, who shared the love of jazz music, the Crescent City, and the food from that region. The restaurant is in its final stages of opening-preparation and will be officially ready for hungry customers soon! Be sure to follow Velvet’s Big Easy’s journey on their Facebook page in the meantime. Pierce County leaders are working to establish a planned community of micro homes, work opportunities, and onsite physical and mental health care, patterned after the stunningly successful Community First! Villate near Austin, Texas. Last October, the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber convened local leaders to tour the Communities First! Village as part of the 2023 Aspire Intercity Leadership Conference in Austin. The program, first inspired by Mobile Loaves and Fishes in 2004, has now grown to include 51 acres of permanent supportive housing for chronically homeless people with plans to expand to 127 additional acres with room for 1400 more homes in the coming years. This new community in Pierce County would address the biggest challenge to homelessness in Pierce County: permanent housing for the chronically homeless. No homeless housing strategy is credible without addressing the chronically homeless. Pierce County commissioned an advisory board to make recommendations on the feasibility and merits of the Pierce County Village project. The findings of this advisory board were overwhelmingly positive. Those findings include:

The Port of Tacoma plays one of the most important roles in the cog that is Pierce County. It has been making history for well over 100 years and supports more than 42,100 jobs for our community at large. A handful of those employees were able to show us their day-to-day at our Chamber After Hours on March 21, 2024.
Over 70 guests made the trek through miles of shipping containers, railroad tracks, and semitrucks hauling precious goods to the Port of Tacoma Administrative Building to network the night away. The Port had a virtual reality headset for guests to wear, embarking on a journey through the Port and what it's like moving containers. Attendees noted the incredible experience and unique way to explore the nearly 2,500 acres which make up the Tacoma Tideflats. The Port also displayed draft images of upcoming projects for attendees to review and inquire about. There were tables full of delicious charcuterie styled food and beverages provided by Georgio’s Catering Company and it did not disappoint. Ryan Spence, Program Director for the Manufacturing Industrial Council (MIC), gave a brief speech to attendees regarding the Pierce Transit Runner program, as well as the relationship between the Port and the Chamber. Eric Johnson, Executive Director for the Port of Tacoma, also spoke more about the organization and showed an informative video highlighting the work that occurs in the Port. The prize giveaway was drawn by Ryan's son, Jacob*, or also known as the “Tiny Apprentice” in his father’s work-world. Five lucky attendees won amazing prizes generously gifted by the Port of Tacoma. If you were unable to attend this month's Chamber After Hours and are wanting to attend future events, we encourage you to register for our April Chamber After Hours. Please note that April’s After Hours is taking place on the second Thursday of the month (April 11, 2024; 5:00 - 7:00 PM; Tacoma Art Museum). * Chamber After Hours is a 21+ event. Ryan is a Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber staff member and was given permission to bring his son. The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber was selected by the U.S. Chamber to be a County represented in their annual National Civics Bee. Our Chamber was one of several Chambers within Washington State to be chosen to represent their counites and host National Civics Bee - Local Bee Competitions. The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber’s Local Bee took place on March 13, 2024, at Pierce College Puyallup. The foyer of the Arts and Allied Health Building was decked out in Americana-themed swag provided by Tacoma Trophy, balloon décor beautifully arranged by The Party’s Here LLC, and of course featured a delicious “Brunch of Champions” spread along with a “Liquid Fuel Station” with some of the well-known morning beverages, sponsored by the City of Tacoma and TAPCO Credit Union, respectively. Within the Arts and Allied Health Building is a spacious theater that was the perfect setting for our Bee. The University of Puget Sound was our Venue sponsor, and we truly did select a wonderful venue for our inaugural Local Civics Bee. Our 15 Local Bee finalists got up on stage with lanyards on (sponsored by the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties), water bottles at the ready, and tablets in hand to compete in two very challenging quiz rounds. The questions varied in difficulty, and parents could attest to that being that they could play along and test their knowledge. Kierra Phifer, Manager for the Northwest Public Engagement Division at DoorDash, did an excellent job as the emcee, reading each question and answer aloud, and keeping the audience engaged throughout the minor unforeseen technical difficulties. It takes great courage to stand up for things you believe in and write an essay about it (which was how the top 15 were selected to participate in the Local Bee), let alone come onstage in front of a live audience to be quizzed on it! Each middle schooler tried their best and played with great integrity up until the end. Regardless of standings, each student should be proud of themselves for taking the initiative and joining this event. After the first two rounds, we congratulated those who did not place in the top five; however, it was not that easy to get those five students. As crazy as it sounds, a tiebreaker was made to break the tiebreaker round because our students were just too smart and kept answering correctly! After many attempts to tiebreak those two smarties, the final five advanced to the third round. This round was a chance for the students to talk about the essay they wrote, and answer questions given from our three judges: Zach Corriea Government Relations Analyst of MultiCare; Tanisha Jumper, Chief Communications Officer at Tacoma Public Schools-District #10; and Sylvia James, Vice Chancellor of Finance and Administration at The University of Washington-Tacoma. The top five students were eloquent and took their time to give the audience a very thorough summary of their essay. They answered the judges’ questions sincerely, and really did give our judges’ a hard time in tabulating scores. After the judges’ deliberations, the students in fourth and fifth place were given their certificates and a gift of a year-long subscription to the Junior Scholastic Magazine. Thank you to our “Continuing Civics Education Sponsors”: The Rush Companies (gifted two subscriptions); Velvet’s Big Easy; New York Life Insurance Company; and The Kiwanis Club of Tacoma. Recipients of the third and second place trophies (sponsored by Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital), were Troy Smith of Eatonville Middle School (3rd place), and Benjamin Wu of Curtis Junior High School (2nd place). The 2024 Local Civics Bee first place trophy went to Brayden Fieber of Harbor Ridge Middle School! Brayden, congratulations to you and thank you for participating in this year's Local Civics Bee. Having that level of knowledge at such a young age is admirable, and you should be very proud of yourself for dedicating your efforts into Civics Education! At the end of the competition, all students gathered to take celebratory photos in front of the balloon wall, congratulate each other, and fill up on a few more brunch treats before they took off basking in their accomplishments. To make things sweeter - As Tayler Kirby, Events Coordinator for Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, was gathering the A-Frame directional signs at the end of the event, a bee ended up landing on one of the signs. It was a perfect end to this year's Civics Bee!
What's Next for the Local Bee Finalists
The top three finalists from the Pierce County Local Civics Bee will be off to compete against the other Washington Chamber’s top three finalists at the State Bee held this June. Please join us in wishing these students good luck! Learn more here.

Since 2006, the Washington State Department of Commerce and the Governor of Washington have been acknowledging the people behind efforts that make their communities flourish. It takes a lot to make a community vibrant; planning in areas of parks and recreation, job growth, housing affordability, economic development, homelessness, transportation, and subarea development are at the forefront of every community leader. But each city in Washington State has proven time and again that they are capable and willing to do what it takes. To really recognize and thank these local governments, the dynamic duo, Washington State Department of Commerce, and the Governor of Washington, created The Governor’s Smart Communities Awards. Seven categories of achievement are available:
Manufacturing Industrial Council (MIC) Program Director, Ryan Spence, states: "Thank you to the governor for recognizing the City of Tacoma’s Green Economic Development Strategy as a pioneering effort to build a greener economy. The strategy identifies manufacturing as a key opportunity to provide low barrier high wage jobs for a greener, more equitable and more prosperous Tacoma.” Thank you, Governor Inslee, and the Washington State Department of Commerce, for the homage. The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber and the City of Tacoma will continue to work on the betterment of our community and the beloved place we call home.

Welcome to all the new members who joined our business community in February 2024:
The Chamber’s annual Horizons Economic Forecast event took place on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, and saw over 400 guests in attendance! The program featured expert economists, industry executives, and local business leaders to candidly discuss the economic outlook of 2024, as well as offer insights and advice to business owners. Some of the top topics on everyone’s mind this year were workforce, interest rates, and community investments. The event speakers covered these topics and more through presentations and live discussions. Take a look at the top 10 takeaways from this year’s Horizons Economic Forecast: 1. Pierce County: A Hub of Investment & Growth The program commenced with an address from Bruce Dammeier, Pierce County Executive, during which he underscored Pierce County's reputation as an attractive destination for both investment and employment opportunities. Highlighting two notable investments within the county, encompassing over seven million square feet of leased property, he emphasized the success of these ventures, with one property achieving full occupancy and the other surpassing the 70 percent mark. This emphasizes Pierce County's enduring appeal as a robust investment hub and vibrant community that continues to attract new residents.
3. Legislative Initiatives Aimed at Tackling Economic Challenges Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland of Washington's 10th District began her address by acknowledging the significant developments witnessed by the South Sound and Washington State at large over the past year. She further acknowledged widespread concerns voiced regarding labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, infrastructure needs, and the evolving marketplace dynamics necessitating continuous adaptation. In response to these challenges, she highlighted key federal legislative initiatives aimed at addressing these pressing issues:
While acknowledging the positive strides made through these legislative efforts, Congresswoman Strickland emphasized the ongoing commitment to further legislative action, promote continuous progress, and advocacy to address emerging challenges.
6. Collaboration & Progress in the South Sound Congressman Derek Kilmer of Washington’s 6th District delivered a memorable address focusing on the power of community collaboration and shared progress in the South Sound region. He highlighted a few significant achievements, including the $54 million investment in the Husky Terminal at the Port of Tacoma, enhancing the region's global economic standing. He also emphasized the tangible impact of federal investments in areas such as affordable housing through the Tacoma Housing Authority and expanded services at the Tacoma Rescue Mission, addressing crucial needs ranging from addiction recovery to workforce development. Furthermore, Kilmer celebrated the secured funding for the preservation and enhancement of Puget Sound, a vital environmental and economic resource for the region. Concluding his address, he urged continued innovation, partnership, and a steadfast commitment to preserving the spirit of collaboration, as he believes that through collective action, there are boundless opportunities for progress and prosperity.
8. Housing Activity to Decline in 2024 Dr. Johnson also delved into the analysis of housing activity outlined in the PCEI Report. Throughout 2023, housing activity notably underperformed initial projections, with new listings and closed sales experiencing declines of 30 percent and 27 percent, respectively. Moreover, the Pierce County Housing Affordability Index witnessed a substantial 28.7 percent decrease by the conclusion of 2023. Looking ahead to 2024, the housing market is expected to maintain its subdued trajectory, contingent upon potential reductions in mortgage rates. Projections indicate that the Pierce County Housing Activity Index is poised to decline by 9.5 percent by the culmination of 2024.
10. JBLM Addresses Recruitment Challenges
JBLM serves as a significant economic driver within the South Sound region and Washington State at large. As part of the local panel, Lt. Col. Dane Franta of the 62nd Airlift Wing at JBLM provided invaluable insights into the military community's resilience amidst global uncertainties and ongoing challenges in labor and recruitment. A key emphasis by Lt. Col. Franta was the revitalization of community outreach initiatives, recognizing the importance of re-establishing connections lost during COVID. JBLM is actively engaged in attending hiring fairs, organizing air shows, and participating in Armed Forces Days to reinforce their commitment to engagement and recruitment efforts. Remarkably, statistics for 2023 indicate that JBLM currently hosts the smallest military personnel presence in its history. Consequently, recruitment efforts have been intensified to meet operational requirements. As part of their recruitment messaging, JBLM fosters a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose, emphasizing the unique benefits of a military career path. Attendees of the Chamber After Hours in February - the month of Valentine’s and burning love - had no wild flames to worry about thanks to Patriot Fire Protection, our amazing host!
The venue, equipped with a gym, wet bar, and even a putting green, was the perfect spot to spend the evening. Guests were welcomed by Chamber Ambassadors, along with Patriot’s Mascot, Sprinkler Man. Catering offered by Gallucci’s was exquisite; flat-bread pizzas, lettuce and pasta salads, meatballs, and more delicious bites to enjoy. In the glow of the (flameless) tealight candles and homemade marquee sign, conversations ranged from which snow sport was best, to the father-son duo who have been with the company for many-a-year and all the great changes they have seen within the company to get it to where it is today. Thirty-four years of servicing new construction (commercial and residential), conducting inspections, testing and maintenance, and fire alarm monitoring to name a few of the many operations Patriot Fire Protection’s team handle day-to-day. With locations in Vancouver, Spokane, and of course Tacoma, the PNW can rest easy knowing that Patriot Fire Protection has been (and will continue to) “protecting lives and property” for years to come!

On Wednesday, January 31, 2024, over 400 members of the business community joined us for the 2024 Horizons Economic Forecast!

At the ribbon cutting ceremony, there were delicious doughnuts for the attendees, and best of all, Krystian’s friends and family. Also present to support Krystian were a few Chamber Ambassadors, The Downtown Tacoma Partnership team, and other fellow photographers. Jon Rossman, Board Chair for the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, and Owner of another business in Tacoma, Chuckals Office Products, had the chance to say a few words to welcome Maxwell Synové Photography. When Krystian had the chance to speak, she shared the meaning behind the studio’s name. Maxwell is the middle name of both her sons, and Synové is Czech for Son. It was important for Krystian to bring her culture into the company name, and of course, her precious children’s middle names. The studio itself is spacious and has large windows at the front to let in natural light. There are plenty of areas within the studio to create different sets, and the soft colors of the room make for a great canvas to get creative with. Along the walls are many prints from past photoshoots that show the variety and skillset Krystian has…you may even find her oldest son toddling around if you’re lucky! Next time you need some photos taken, be sure to check out Maxwell Synové Photography! Welcome to all the new members who joined our business community in January 2024:
