It’s back to the future with enterpriseSeattle’s name change

Staff, Puget Sound Business Journal

One of King County’s leading economic development agencies has changed its name back to the Economic Development Council of Seattle and King County.

The public-private organization, based in Seattle, adopted the name enterpriseSeattle in 2005. The agency’s decision to return to its former name took effect today.

The EDC’s board of directors changed the name to eliminate brand confusion and to underscore its countywide mission, the organization said in an email newsletter.

The EDC was founded in 1971 with a service area encompassing King County and its 39 cities. It is dedicated to growing the jobs and the tax base by recruiting, keeping and growing businesses.
