As the year comes to a close, WR extends our sincere gratitude to our members, partners, and supporters across the state. Your resilience, innovation, and commitment to serving communities, large and small, continue to define the strength of Washington’s retail industry.
This past year brought both challenges and opportunities, and retailers once again rose to meet them, supporting local economies, creating jobs, and adapting to a rapidly changing landscape. We are proud to stand alongside you as an advocate, resource, and partner.
As we look ahead to the New Year, we remain focused on advancing policies that support retail businesses, strengthening public-private partnerships, and ensuring a vibrant future for employers and employees alike.
Wishing you and your families a joyful holiday season and a healthy, prosperous New Year. We look forward to continuing our work together in the year ahead.
