Luncheon - SnoValley Regional Chamber September 23, 2026

THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS IN WASHINGTON

Featuring Guest Speaker: Joe Fain, President & CEO, Bellevue Chamber

What does it take to do business in Washington today?

Join us for a timely conversation about the rising costs and pressures facing employers across our state. Hear how wages and benefits, taxes, regulations, insurance, rent, tariffs, and the cost of goods are affecting business decisions, prices, hiring, expansion, and the affordability of our communities.

Come learn what businesses are experiencing, why it matters, and what can be done to help create a more competitive and predictable business environment in Washington.
