At the Washington State Department of Commerce, our business recruitment team will work closely with your team to identify the advantages Washington state can provide for your business. The business recruitment office will also provide you with information on existing buildings or a "greenfield" that suits your needs. They work closely with the state's regional economic development offices to identify the sites for your business throughout Washington state. The recruitment unit offers a single point of contact that will coordinate your statewide search.
Another tool that is available to you is Washington Prospector, which is an online application that allows you to search for properties throughout the state.
Through the Department of Commerce, the state of Washington stepped up promptly to help successfully solve a power challenge at our remote quarry. I was impressed at how well the agency worked with our local public utility district staff and the solution has enabled our company to stay productive with both more environmentally friendly and lower energy costs.
