Happy New Year from our
 SLU Chamber Board President
On behalf of the SLU Chamber Board of Directors, I want to wish you a happy and prosperous New Year! If last year was any indication, we have much to look forward to in 2015. We continue to see unprecendented growth and innovation in our area, with new businesses, restaurants and residents moving into South Lake Union.
I have a friend who jokes that he only celebrates birthdays that end in 0's and 5's. 2015 is a pivotal year as we look back at the last five years of growth and then envision what the next five years will look like. The SLU Chamber will turn nine in September, and in anticipation of hitting the decade mark, we are looking to be an organization that truly reflects this world-class neighborhood. This year is all about 20/20 vision, seeing clearly, as we look forward towards the year 2020.
We'd like to thank the following members for their support and sponsorship in 2014:
American Lung Association of the Mountain Pacific
Athletic Awards
Car2Go
Compass Housing Alliance
Holland Partner Group
PEMCO Insurance
King County Metro
Shine
SpringHill Suites
Vulcan, Inc.
Zipcar
