Last Wednesday, WR’s Rose Gundersen attended the Greater Everett Chamber of Commerce’s luncheon at the historic APEX in downtown Everett, joining approximately 80 civic and business leaders from across the community. The event marked the Chamber’s one-year anniversary, following its launch in response to strong interest from local businesses and civic leaders in a dedicated, city-focused organization. The Everett Chamber works to connect businesses of all sizes while supporting networking, advocacy, and economic vitality throughout the city. WR is excited to build a new partnership with the Everett Chamber to connect with local employers and celebrate the Chamber’s rapid growth and early success.
During the luncheon, Gundersen also met with Glen Bachman, a commissioner with the Port of Everett, which is a WR member. Bachman shared updates on the Port’s plans to expand retail and commercial activity along the Everett waterfront as part of its broader redevelopment efforts. The Port’s vision includes creating new retail, dining, and destination spaces designed to strengthen the local economy and attract both residents and visitors.
The enthusiasm and collaboration on display at the luncheon highlighted the strong momentum underway in Everett. WR looks forward to continued collaboration with both the Greater Everett Chamber of Commerce and the Port of Everett as they work to support a connected, vibrant, and growing business community in the region.
