Snohomish County Green Business
Clean Technology
Innovation, entrepreneurship and drive are creating opportunities in the Pacific Northwest and Snohomish County. Technological advances and support for new industries like solar panel fabrication, biofuel research and production and even new green building products and methodologies are all happening here. Recently, the green research firm Clean Edge released a study that showed the Puget Sound Region ranked seventh in the nation for jobs related to renewable energy and energy efficiency. Whether it is smart-grid innovation and connectivity or renewable energy production from local farms there are local opportunities for investment and growth.
Access to critical infrastructure like reliable and affordable power from Snohomish County Public Utility District or Puget Sound Energy is key to any new business. High quality water from the Cascade Mountains serves most of the county via the City of Everett’s water system.
Quality local talent, sophisticated investors and a willing marketplace all lead to opportunities for the right ideas and innovation.
