About This Cause
Washington Policy Center (WPC) is an independent, non-profit think tank that promotes sound public policy based on free-market solutions. Headquartered in Seattle with satellite offices and full-time staff in Olympia and Eastern Washington, Washington Policy Center publishes studies, sponsors events and conferences and educates citizens on the vital public policy issues facing our region. WPC has an annual budget of more than $5 million and a full-time staff of 25. Broadcast, print, and online media throughout Washington and across the nation cover WPC's work regularly and seek out its policy experts for analysis and commentary. In addition, lawmakers routinely invite WPC to testify before legislative committees. Through its research centers, Washington Policy Center focuses on eight core areas of public policy: Education The Environment Government Reform (budget & taxes, open government) Health Care Small Business Transportation Agriculture Worker Rights In addition, WPC operates WashingtonVotes.org, the premier website for tracking bills in Olympia, finding objective, plain-English summaries of legislation, and offering quick access to your legislators' voting records. At WPC we believe ideas, supported by sound research and promoted through publications, conferences and the media, over time, create an environment in which policymakers and citizens make sound public policy decisions. In 2013, WPC launched our inaugural issue of Viewpoint, a quarterly magazine which highlights the the work of our research centers as well as the WPC's impact all across Washington state.
