Legislative Kickoff - Virtual Event
The East King Chambers Coalition Legislative Kickoff is one of the biggest political events of the year.
Each January, the Coalition kicks off the New Year with an event just days before the Legislature convenes. Representatives of the East King County business community gather to hear what Legislators from the Eastside and from top leadership in Olympia will prioritize in the coming Session, and to share a few ideas of their own.
The Legislative Breakfast will include two mainstage panels focusing on Housing and Transportation as well as breakout rooms exploring Budget and Tax Policy and Economic Revitalization.
