Securing a Commercial Lease in Seattle

Hear from three business owners about their journey in securing a commercial lease in Seattle!

The panel will offer a variety of perspectives, from those who cold called property owners to those who worked with a commercial broker to dive deep and find the right spot for their business. We’ll also talk about permitting, design, capital, business resources, launch events, and more.
