Working With Us

Fostering Diversity in Business

City Light strives to build partnerships with businesses that reflect the diversity of our community. We actively participate in the City of Seattle's Women- and Minority-Owned Enterprises (WMBE) Program to support those businesses that add value to our services, our customers and our community by promoting their inclusion in day-to-day procurement opportunities.

Learn more about City Light's Women- and Minority-Owned Businesses program, or contact our specialist to answer your questions.
