Whitney Moore. It’s been nine months since the Chamber announced the departure of
Julia Jordan, who had held the title of CEO as had her predecessors. Moore most recently worked as marketing/programs leader for the
Fremont Chamber of Commerce; she is a West Seattle resident. In its announcement, the Chamber says Moore brings “talents in community engagement, leadership, innovation, and a passion for small businesses” as well as “many years of leadership, communications, event planning, and strategic marketing experience.” Moote is quoted as saying, “I plan on addressing the most pressing threats to our business community and continue working toward sustainable economic recovery and growth.” She’ll be part of this year’s online edition of the

Star Wars isn t as interesting as having something interesting to say about
Star Wars. And while I have nothing to offer in that regard, Mudede will publish a post a little later in the morning that goes some way in describing my preference for
