Public Safety and Retail Theft

Washington Retail (WR) is the primary advocacy group for retailers across the state, from the largest national chains to the smallest independent businesses. As stewards of Washington State’s retail experience, our goal is to protect retail jobs and the employers who provide them.

Retail crime jeopardizes the safety of employees and customers alike.

WR is committed to providing support to Washington State’s retailers, including our members and the industry as a whole. With the swell of retail thefts and the growing persistence of organized retail crime, WR stands ready to provide retailers with tools to protect their employees and customers while helping to safeguard their place of business.
