President and CEO Kandace Barnes, shared with the Lynnwood Times the importance of the Chamber recognizing local businesses and members in the community.

“When you think about celebrating a birthday or purchasing a home, you utilize businessowners. They are the ones who constantly support our community. They buy t-shirts for our football teams. They donate items to auctions at our schools.

“The opportunity to recognize those people who really are the backbone of our community. We are just so thankful for them.”

Barnes, her team, and many volunteers hosted wine fests, Music at the Beach concerts, a Mukilteo Car Show, a Beer Garden at the Lighthouse Festival, Spooktacular for Halloween, and a luncheon series this year all of which are returning for 2023.

“We have wonderful buildings and public spaces,” Barnes said. “It is determining what the community wants to enjoy.”
