The Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce

The Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce supports the growth, development and advancement of the businesses of Mercer Island while promoting the Island as a special place to live, work and play.

A member-funded, nonprofit group of business and professional people, the Chamber holds membership luncheon meetings on the first Thursday of the month featuring speakers on topics of local and regional interest.

The Chamber provides business and demographic information, mailing lists and labels; publishes a community profile and business directory; and acts as a visitor and information center for the Island.

The Chamber office is the home of the Mercer Island Sister City Association and the Chamber Art Gallery.

The Chamber is actively involved with the City of Mercer Island, state lawmakers, and regional groups on issues that affect the Island. It’s a founding member of the East King County Legislative Coalition.

With the redevelopment of the Town Center that is under way, the Chamber also keeps the business community up to date by holding meetings periodically with business owners and construction contractors.

As several large mixed-use projects open, the Town Center is becoming a pedestrian-friendly "village" where people will live above new retail shops and office space. In all, the new buildings are expected to bring 800 residential units to the Town Center, as well as tens of thousands of new retail and office space. Already there’s a new level of activity downtown as more and more people stroll along the streets, poke into shops and businesses and meet each other in cafes and restaurants.

The Chamber is working with business and owners to make the transition from old to new a smooth one. This is an exciting time for Mercer Island and for the Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce.
