An Invitation from Our Mayor
Whether you are an existing local business or are considering locating your company here, I would like to extend my personal thank you for considering Des Moines for your venture. Please know that we work hard to create a culture where business investment and trade is appreciated and valued.
Des Moines has numerous developable, commercial properties with considerable infrastructure already in place. Many of our business sites have fantastic views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, or Mt. Rainier! In addition, many
development projects are in process and planning through out our city. Business Opportunity is bright.
As a business in Des Moines' Marina District, you are just steps from our Marina and the development already underway. Our downtown is home to a variety of businesses in a high traffic corridor. High-end apartments and condominiums in the immediate area provide tremendous market opportunities for local goods and services.
If your business requires more immediate access to high-capacity, regional transportation systems, our Pacific Ridge neighborhood may be the best choice for you. Pacific Ridge is bisected by Pacific Highway South, a major north-south corridor that was expanded and improved by Des Moines and several other jurisdictions. Pacific Ridge is adjacent to Interstate 5, and we are just 10 minutes from Sea-Tac International Airport. Very close to Pacific Ridge, the Des Moines Creek Business Park offers large, developable acreage for you to customize. Light Rail Stations are conveniently located on the North, East and South borders along Pacific Highway.
We understand that city services should help, not hinder, business activity. We do away with the delay and confusion of dealing with government by providing personal attention, streamlined permitting, and an "I can help you" attitude.
Welcome to Des Moines!
Mayor Matt Mahoney
