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 (EDC) for their first-ever Datapalooza! event, two hours of in-depth data and analysis of our economy and demographics, plus lunch and conversation, on Friday, December 2nd, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. on Orcas Island.
This year’s program, sponsored in part by Island Market, will include presentations by noted speakers James McCafferty, director of WWU’s Center for Economic & 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.

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