Christine Gregoire on Free Trade

Democratic WA Governor

One in three Washington jobs are tied to trade

Our goal is to expand export opportunities, encourage new investment and create new jobs in Washington state. I am anxious to seek new opportunities for our businesses, our growers and our educational institutions. This trip is important to economic recovery. With one in three Washington jobs tied to trade, the benefits of this trip are clear. We also aim to expand trade opportunities and encourage a stronger partnership between higher education institutions in Washington state and Asia.
