Capital DC

The 2026 PNWA Mission to Washington offers a valuable opportunity for members to gather in the nation’s capital and engage directly with lawmakers and their staff, ensuring regional priorities remain front and center. A key highlight includes two full days on Capitol Hill, where members will meet with the Northwest Congressional delegation to advocate for the region. This year also features a joint summit with the National Waterways Conference (NWC), bringing together a full day of exceptional speakers and national industry perspectives to strengthen engagement on critical issues. The Mission will includes the Taste the Northwest Reception, where members of Congress and their staff will join attendees in celebrating the region’s diverse products—from fresh seafood, cheese, and wine to key agricultural commodities such as wheat, potatoes, apples, and hops—showcasing the strength and value of the Pacific Northwest.
