Site Selection Process

Whether you are a small company or a Fortune 500 company looking for site selection assistance, our business development staff will work with you during the process.

Our primary goal is to provide you with the information that is most beneficial to your company. We work closely with you to understand the needs and concerns that your company may have.

By working closely with our large network of Economic Development Organizations in each county we can provide a strong local knowledge of the surrounding business climate, available properties, and a knowledge that can only be gained by working at the local level.

A site visit is a critical part of the selection process and we will provide the logistical coordination to ensure that all needed parties are involved.

Diverse Geography

Washington is blessed with a diverse geography that nurtures a diverse economy ranging from heavy manufacturing, agriculture to advanced technology. Whether you are looking for convenient access to the Pacific ocean or to benefit from the dry arid Eastern Washington region, Washington state can accomodate your business needs.


Washington has 39 counties within its borders. The county profile section highlights each county and allows you to search for the pertinent information that is needed. You can also use the sort funtion and find counties that may meet the various criteria that your specific project needs.
