BLS Partnership Services news updates

Partners-

Good tidings of the season!

We’re nearing the end of 2013, which makes this a good time to update you about the past year as well as the coming year work of the state Business Licensing Service.

Here are a few items of note:

• Angie Roberts has joined the team as the Partnership Services Assistant. She looks forward to meeting all of you. She will work Monday to Thursday and you can usually reach her at 360.705.6777.

• Brandi Greene, a 10-year veteran of business licensing, was named Partnership Services Coordinator in November. We're lucky to have her experience and skills working for our city and agency partners.

• Marijuana applications are being accepted till Dec. 20. Licenses will be issued by Liquor Control Board next year.

• BLS is moving ahead with its systems replacement. We're excited for the flexibility a new system will provide to our partners. As we work on the replacement, no changes can be made to BLS forms or mainframe programming. Thank you for your understanding as we commit resources and staff to work on this vital systems replacement.

We'll keep you updated of more changes as they happen. 

Happy Holidays to all!
