Weatherization programs for businesses and homeowners, grants to make public buildings more energy efficient, funding for groundbreaking clean tech R&D...these are just some of the ways Commerce is helping secure Washington State's clean energy future.

Building communities is at the heart of our work, and Washington's lawmakers entrust Commerce to invest about $1 billion of the state's capital budget each year. We work with counties, cities, ports and others around the state to build a better future for all of our citizens.

Infrastructure is fundamental. Economic growth and community development are integrated components requiring public investment in roads, bridges, water and sewer systems.

The program improves the economic, social and physical environment of eligible, rural cities and counties to enhance the quality of life for low- and moderate-income residents, and as a result, assists the entire community.

Since 1982, CERB's flexible, rapid response to emerging growth opportunities in communities throughout the state has generated more than 34,000 permanent jobs.

We help communities plan for their future. Our team assists and guides local governments, state agencies, and others to manage growth and development consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA).

To help mayors, town managers and other local officials navigate information and resources available at Commerce, we've created a portal to make it easier to find what you're looking for.
