Investing in Puget Sound: Strengthening Community, Economy & Employees

We invest in Puget Sound—supporting nonprofits, powering the local economy, and empowering employees with jobs, training, benefits, and partnerships today.

Our commitment to the Puget Sound region means more than business as usual. We invest in the community, help power the local economy, and support our employees so the region thrives—today and for generations. By focusing on community investment, local partnerships, and workforce support, we aim to create resilient neighborhoods and sustainable growth across the Sound.

Community investment is at the heart of what we do. We partner with local nonprofits, schools, and civic organizations to fund programs that improve education, housing stability, and access to essential services. Volunteer initiatives and employee-led giving amplify these efforts, ensuring our community investment reaches the neighborhoods that need it most. These partnerships not only strengthen civic life but also build trust and shared value across the region.

Powering the local economy means supporting small businesses, local suppliers, and regional contractors. We prioritize local procurement and work with Puget Sound entrepreneurs to create jobs and circulate capital within the community. From supporting small business incubators to collaborating on infrastructure projects, our focus on the local economy drives sustainable development, encourages innovation, and helps preserve the unique character of the Puget Sound market.

Supporting our employees is essential to regional prosperity. We invest in workforce development through training programs, career pathways, and mentorship opportunities that equip local talent with in-demand skills. Competitive benefits, flexible work arrangements, and inclusive workplace practices help retain skilled workers and foster a diverse, productive workforce. Employee well-being is a priority—when our people succeed, the entire Puget Sound benefits.

Sustainability and long-term resilience guide our work across community investment and economic development. We integrate green initiatives, energy efficiency, and climate-adaptive practices into operations and community projects to protect Puget Sound’s environment while creating jobs in emerging clean sectors. These efforts create a healthier environment and a stronger local economy.

We welcome collaboration. If you’re a nonprofit, small business, or community leader in the Puget Sound region, we want to hear from you. Together we can deepen community investment, power the local economy, and support employees—building a thriving, resilient Puget Sound for everyone.
