Our coalition represents over 3,262 businesses, employing over 185,977 workers and generating over $100 billion in revenue across South King and North Pierce counties. Key industries include manufacturing, retail, services, and warehousing. The SSCCLC focuses on economic vitality, job creation, competitiveness, and regional productivity by advocating for fully funded transportation infrastructure, investment in education, workforce development, attainable housing, and access to health services.
