About the Center/Director
Since 2001, the Center for Small Business has focused on improving
Washington's small business climate by providing public policy recommendations
from small businesses to policymakers. The Center provides accurate
information and analysis on the state's regulatory climate, tax structure,
health insurance systems, transportation infrastructure, and more. The Center
holds conferences, issue forums, legislative briefings, and testifies before
the state legislature by invitation. In order to provide the public with
timely research the Center publishes studies, Policy Notes, opinion
editorials, and Legislative Memos.
