We the undersigned, are in full support of creating a public market in our city. We embrace the vision and goals of the Federal Way Public Market organization, which are:

To establish a community hub to help our city grow as a vibrant and economically prosperous place to live, work, play, and worship by fostering local economic development, and creating a central gathering place and town square for our city.

Federal Way has never had a downtown. A public market will not only attract tourists but also shoppers from surrounding communities that would have no other reason to come to our city. It would become the "heart and soul" of Federal Way!

We enthusiastically support the Federal Way Public Market's (www.fedwaypm.org) efforts to conduct studies, raise funds, and build the community and business partnerships needed to create a vibrant public market (with a business incubator and surrounding open space) that is community-driven and financially self-sustaining.
