WCIT is a small nonprofit based in Seattle that works to strengthen the Northwest's position in global trade and support workers and employers across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. It analyzes the impact of trade policies using objective data and informs policymakers at local, state, and federal levels about benefits to Northwest communities. The organization brings together manufacturers, retailers, farmers, and service providers to advocate for policy changes that help them compete in the global marketplace. Operating in the international trade and development arena, WCIT positions itself as a policy-focused actor rather than a traditional service provider. A notable recent development is the February 2024 launch of the Northwest International Trade Dashboard, which provides quarterly indicators for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
