Economic Alliance launches countywide survey to inform trade advocacy efforts

Economic Alliance Snohomish County (EASC) has launched a survey designed to measure the effects of current trade policies on local businesses. The survey, open until the end of the month, seeks anonymous responses to guide legislative advocacy and resource development. EASC President Ray Stephanson stated that the data will reveal the true costs of the trade environment on local supply chains and market access. Participants are encouraged to share their business stories, which can provide powerful insights for advocacy efforts. Those sharing testimonials will be entered into a drawing for a $250 gift card to Lombardi’s Italian Restaurant.

EASC aims for broad engagement across different business sectors and sizes, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of economic impacts. The survey is accessible at https://bit. ly/EASCTradeSurvey. Questions can be directed to EASC's economic development director or community engagement director for further details.
