What’s New

  • MSW & the Chamber celebrated the Grand Re-opening of Greiner Plaza! Last Friday was a great day on Main Street! We cut ribbon & popped confetti to celebrate the offices of Greiner Buildings, MSW, WEDG, WCRF, Goldfinch Solar, Adam Brown, and Thrivent! Attendees enjoyed food, cookies, drinks & drawings and even a special appearance by ‘Elvis’! Thank you to everyone who came to support the beautiful restoration of 120 E Main St!

    • Congratulations to the door prize winners: Brayton Anderson & Lois Lemley!

Confetti pop & ribbon cutting action!

  • Main Street Masters was a success & we’re already planning for next year! Help us make it better than ever by taking this quick 7 question survey. Thank you to everyone who joined us to putt around 20 fantastically fun mini-golf holes & congrats to the prize winners!

  • A new initiative from our Design Committee is a mural fundraiser! We are raising funds to help businesses put murals on their buildings, our 1st project has been at Purposefully You where 5 panels are going to be installed on the side of the building facing the public parking lot. MSW, owner, Leslie A, & Jenny Morgan raised funds for these & Paige Flotterud has been painting them. If you have an idea for a mural/fundraiser & are the building owner (or have permission from the owner in writing) reach out to us to see if we can help make it happen! Don’t need a mural but want to help add art to downtown? Donate! Mail check/cash to 120 E Main St, Ste 6A or pay online here!

  • Wash Co Public Health FREE Dental Screenings (vision screening also available): August 8 & 19th, 3-6p, 5th floor old Fed Bank building, no appointment necessary!
