Director Fong tours Spokane community 

On Thursday, Director Fong toured Spokane, connecting with local leaders, advocates, and nonprofits to get a firsthand look at the community’s needs, challenges, and successes. This visit also highlighted our agency's ongoing partnerships in affordable housing, early learning, and child care.
Since joining Commerce 17 months ago, Director Fong has made it a priority to visit 22 counties (and counting!) to ensure we’re listening to communities, learning from those with lived experience, and using these insights to shape programs that truly serve Washington residents.
