When you join the Seattle Pacific Northwest Council of the USA Chapter of FIABCI, you become a member at the local, national, and international levels. Here in Seattle, we've been hosting market tours for global investors for several years. We give our members exclusive looks at new projects and introductions to local officials who provide insights into economic development plans and future opportunities for commercial real estate development and investment. One of our recent tours led to a significant investment from Vietnam in a new multi-family development in Tacoma, WA. Join like-minded real estate professionals – those looking to grow their businesses both locally and internationally – and learn how you can participate in these opportunities. The next great project may be just around the corner!
