The Lacey Chamber
The Lacey Chamber was established in 1961. We are a direct link to the business community! Formed from unincorporated areas of Olympia, Lacey has been an independent, pro-business community since its beginnings in 1966. The Chamber has worked hard to keep Lacey an economically dynamic community and has taken an active role in all phases of community life. Today, the Lacey Chamber enjoys beneficial working partnerships with the City of Lacey, Economic Development Council of Thurston County, North Thurston Public Schools, Saint Martins University, South Puget Sound Community College and our business members.
