Creative Tacoma's five pilot initiatives...

Currently, members of Tacoma-Pierce County’s Creative Cities Leadership Project (CCLP) are working with others in our community to ensure that we continue to have the talent, technology, tolerance and territorial assets needed to attract these highly prized and valued workers, who can fuel economic prosperity for our region in the future.

Listed below are the CCLP teams and a brief description of their Creative Tacoma work:
