Capital DC

The 2025 PNWA Mission to Washington was an event to remember. Members gathered in the nation’s capital to meet with lawmakers and their staff, ensuring that our priorities and issues remained top of mind.

Participants gained valuable insights while networking with federal agency officials, industry partners, and DC insiders. A highlight of the program included two days on Capitol Hill, where members met with the Northwest Congressional delegation to advocate for our region.

The Mission also featured the Taste the Northwest Reception with members of Congress and their staff. Attendees celebrated together while enjoying the rich flavors of the Pacific Northwest — from fresh seafood and local favorites to time-honored candies. The reception showcased the rich flavors of the Pacific Northwest — featuring regional products such as fresh seafood, fish, cheese, wines, and beers, along with agricultural commodities including wheat, potatoes, apples, berries, nuts, hops, and grapes.
