Need more data and information to make knowledgeable decisions about your business or as a community legislator or leader?

Join the San Juan County Economic Development Council for their second annual “Datapalooza!” event — two hours of in-depth data and analysis of our economy and demographics, plus brunch and conversation, on Wednesday, Dec. 6, from 10 a.m. to noon at Emmanuel Episcopal Church parish hall in Eastsound on Orcas Island.

This year’s program, sponsored in part by Island Market and San Juan Propane, will include presentations by James McCafferty, director of Western Washington University’s Center for Economic and Business Research; Dr. Anneliese Vance-Sherman, regional labor economist for the State of Washington; and Victoria Compton, director of the San Juan County Economic Development Council. The presentations will explore the region’s economy and demographics – past, present and future – including industry, employment, and sales data, and current trends.

This in-depth analysis will enable leaders and businesspeople to make informed decisions about issues that affect our community and economy.
