Keep Washington Competitive is a coalition that promotes bilateral trade in Washington (that is, both imports and exports). It is a coalition of business, unions, agriculture and trade organizations.
From their “about" page:
Our objective is to foster a regulatory environment that encourages investment in Washington’s trade industries. Ensuring our state is positioned to thrive in the increasingly competitive national and international marketplace for foreign trade will require:
A timely regulatory review process lasting no longer than 18 months for proposals meeting Washington’s high environmental standards.
An environmental framework that is predictable and obtainable, focusing on the needs of communities where projects are to be built, rather than speculative indirect impacts.
A commitment to promoting trade growth and the diversity of employment opportunities that sustain Washington’s middle class.
Now they are focused on three issues:
- That SEPA reviews be done in a timely fashion
- Make the Harbor Maintenance Tax more fair
- Water quality standards that are workable.
