Mukilteo Chamber of Commerce Business After-Hours Networking Event | June 8, 2017

The Bank of Washington’s Mukilteo Office recently hosted a business after-hours event for the Mukilteo Chamber of Commerce. Over 30 members of the chamber and friends of the bank attended a fun-filled All-American picnic themed event, complete with beach balls, Frisbees, and loungers. Treats for the attendees were brought from locally owned businesses, such as Northwest Biscotti, located in Mukilteo, and sandwiches from the Subway franchise located next door to The Bank of Washington. The Human Scavenger Hunt icebreaker game was a big hit and the group learned very quickly everyone these days owns a Facebook account and has traveled by plane to their destination. The bank donated a bottle of wine for the business card raffle, and the chamber donated two bottles of wine and a jacket made by a locally owned company.
