The Municipal Research Council (MRC) was created for the purpose of providing costs-savings research and services to local governments through one centralized source.  The MRC's programs are designed to provide technical expertise that for the most part is not affordable to an individual local goverment and to eliminate duplication of effort that occurs when services are performed separately by individual local governments.

The program is strongly supported by the user cities, towns and counties who rely heavily on these services to function within tight budgetary constraints.

The MRC provides comprehensive research services to all 281 cities and towns and 39 counties in Washington State.
