Governor Jay Inslee recently promoted Nick Streuli to the position of Executive Director, Policy and Outreach. WR congratulates Mr. Streuli on this well-earned and high honor.

WR worked closely with Nick in his previous role as Executive Director of External Affairs during the pandemic on efforts to protect retail employees and customers. We worked tirelessly to help create guidelines to reopen retail establishments safely as the pandemic subsided and institute safety protocols.

Before moving to the Governor’s Office, WR staff worked with Nick as the Legislative and Executive Operations Director at the Employment Security Department, the agency that manages the state’s unemployment insurance program.

Nick has always proven to be accessible and very responsive with the best interests of our members and their industry at heart. He is a straight shooter that tells it like it is – sometimes when you don’t want to hear it.

The retailers and citizens of the State of Washington are fortunate to have Nick Streuli as a partner and trusted friend. We are excited about Nick’s new promotion and responsibilities, and confident he will execute them with aplomb.
