They will be able to give us the list of Tukwila businesses with NAICS code as well as address, so we can play around with industry info and mapping. However, I have to actually mail in a check (no online payment option!) for $6.32. So it will take a few days.<div class="">

I also heard back from the Dept. of Revenue: “Please provide more specific details describing how you will be using the requested list.” I already told them we were researching potential impacts of a minimum wage measure, but apparently that doesn’t justify wanting every single business’s name, address, employee count, industry classification and contact info… My guess is we won’t be able to convince them to give us this information, but if you have ideas let me know. I will try one more time to get some of it.<div class="">
