Washington is composed of 39 counties, each one represented by an Associate Development Organization (ADO) that furthers county or regional economic development goals. These ADOs are funded in part by Commerce because their collaboration and expertise is critical to our goal of growing the economy and building communities statewide.
Commerce works closely with these local and regional economic development partners to promote Washington state. Together, we respond to site selector inquires, find helpful ways to support growing businesses and expand international trade relationships around the globe.
