ECONorthwest

Founded in 1974, ECONorthwest is the Pacific Northwest’s largest and most respected economic consulting firm. Key to the firm’s longevity has been its reputation for high-quality, objective research. ECONorthwest has completed thousands of studies for public and private-sector clients, as well as for plaintiffs and defendants in litigation matters. The studies have been conducted by staff who were vetted for strong economic, financial, and policy evaluative skills, but not for their ideological views. The firm values intellectual curiosity and constructive disagreement. Consequently, we have worked for client organizations with diverse interests and perspectives: business management and labor unions; conservationists and energy companies; public planning departments and private developers. A long-standing conflict check process ensures that we do not work on the opposite sides of an issue simultaneously. Mission: ECONorthwest provides independent, insightful, and relevant analyses that strengthen our clients' policy and investment decisions. We use the best analytical methods available and are easy to work with. Our products are clear and concise.
