I joined thinking I’d meet a few of my fellow business owners. But after attending a few luncheons, I’ve grown my contacts exponentially. And it’s a great way to exchange ideas on how to expand our business.

We may be a small business, but we’re part of a greater community. That makes all the difference in the world when you connect with your fellow business owners and neighbors.

Here in Queen Anne, our community is so diverse and I like that the Chamber reflects that.

The Queen Anne community is unique--no other neighborhood in Seattle welcomes and greets residents and guests with a beautiful light display as they walk or drive to the top of the Hill. The lights are on every tree from Galer St. to McGraw St., and up some side streets as well--the full length of the business district.

When I moved from Belltown, I knew I’d miss the downtown lights when the days got long and dark. Little did I know those same beautiful white lights were wrapped around trees along Queen Anne Avenue in the winter. Such a beautiful sight.
