Dear Friend:

For your review, I am attaching the "Economic and Revenue Outlook" for the State of Washington presented to me this past week by Dr. Steve Lerch, Executive Director, State of Washington Department of Economic and Revenue Forecast Council.

With global stock market fluctuations grabbing all the headlines, it's important to review a professional analysis of the underpinnings of our regional economy.

With best wishes,
Pete von Reichbauer
