City of Seattle Disparity Study 2025
The City of Seattle recently completed a disparity study for its Women- and Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (WMBE) Program. This comprehensive study was the first-of-its-kind for the City and evaluated our WMBE program for its impact to equal access to contracting opportunities for WMBE firms.
The study was conducted by Colette Holt & Associates (CHA), a nationally recognized expert on disparity studies and WMBE programs. CHA has partnered with multiple agencies across Washington state over many years. The full City of Seattle Disparity Study 2025 is available for download at the link below.
