The Puyallup-Sumner Chamber of Commerce is hosting the East Pierce County Business Expo, a free afternoon event open to the public. Chamber members can attend at no cost. The event features local vendors, free food and beverages, and information about businesses and services in the region.
The expo is one of several efforts by the Chamber to connect residents with local businesses. The Puyallup-Sumner Chamber represents businesses across both cities, which share a border and a history of commercial cooperation dating to the late 1800s.
The Chamber's mission focuses on economic development and building partnerships between businesses, government, and community organizations. The Puyallup-Sumner area supports industries including manufacturing, retail, auto sales, and tourism. Puyallup alone draws about 2. 5 million visitors each year through the Washington State Fair and other fairgrounds events.
