SEATTLE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Seawall: Building a Resilient Seattle Economy
Moonlight Analytics, with Formation, analyzed Seattle’s economic and labor-market data, compared the region with peer metros, and engaged business, labor, community, civic, nonprofit, and neighborhood stakeholders. The work helped the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development understand Seattle’s growth, strengths, vulnerabilities, and opportunities—and shape actions to retain businesses and workers, diversify the economy, support firms of different sizes, and make it easier to open, operate, and grow a business in Seattle.
