21 cities join BLS in first half of 2021
BLS is continuing its award-winning work to add new Washington state cities and towns to its free licensing administration system. The service added 21 municipal partnerships in the first half of 2021 with another 17 cities set to join before 2022. In June, the cities of Vader, Cosmopolis, and Waitsburg connected commerce with neighboring cities and dozens of state licensing programs. Next month, Bremerton will join as the 175th municipal partner and the last link for local licensing on the Olympic Peninsula.
