I am Kevin Decker, a Coastal Economist and Resilience Lead at Washington Sea Grant at the University of Washington. I work with communities across the coast on economic development and resilience issues. I support their work by providing research and technical expertise, conducting community engagement and education, and facilitating partnerships and collaboration. 

This site is part of an effort to provide communities with access to local economic research and information that helps them understand their economies, supports ongoing local conversations, and informs their policy decisions.
