As a Chamber of Commerce, business development is a high priority as we work together to grow and diversify our economic base in the greater Federal Way area.

Throughout the year, the Chamber offers seminars, workshops and other programing to support skill development in your business.

The Small Business Development Center at Highline College specializes in providing business and training services to entrepreneurs and existing businesses in order to be successful in today's economy. The SBDC provides free business mentoring and holds office hours at the Greater Federal Way Chamber.  Schedule at appointment at  206.592.4151, or through email.
