Grays Harbor County is much more than a great location for your business. The county provides quality living for employees and families found nowhere else, not even in other parts of the Pacific Northwest. Grays Harbor residents are able to live on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, at the foot of the Olympic Mountains, on acreage in the country, in a small town, on a hill side overlooking a city, or in a house on the bay. All the cultural and recreational amenities and conveniences available in large cities are available in Grays Harbor, but without the urban sprawl, crowds, traffic jams and long commutes experienced elsewhere. And most importantly, Grays Harbor provides quiet, safe communities with good schools and great neighbors... all in a business friendly environment.

"Companies know that there are real benefits to locating in rural areas like Grays Harbor, where people are writing a story of innovation with the birth of new industries. The workforce is stable, land is cheaper, and the cost of living is lower. There is cleaner air, and less traffic congestion. And in Grays Harbor County, you'll find some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and the strongest communities in which to raise a family."

Washington State Governor Chris Gregoire, January 2008
