WR’s Director of Policy & Government Affairs, Crystal Leatherman, represented the association at the 2025 Washington State Tax Forum. Hosted in collaboration with the Washington State Department of Revenue and tax professionals statewide, the event served as a key platform to discuss tax policy developments, compliance challenges, and best practices.
While at the conference, Crystal connected with Olympia Mayor Dontae Payne, Senator Noel Frame (D-36), and Representative April Berg (D-44). She reaffirmed WR’s active role in shaping policy conversations that impact Washington’s retail industry and advocating for balanced, business-friendly tax policies.
