Last Wednesday, May 18th, at the Fremont Abbey, the Fremont Chamber of Commerce welcomed nearly 50 businesses and non-profits to shamelessly self-promote their cause, service and needs.

In addition to traditional businesses, like Sovereign Legal, Habitude, Ray’s Boathouse & Catering, and Juniper Flowers, the Fremont Chamber hosted a selection of slightly more creative enterprises like Ninja Escape, My NextU business services, Simply Placed organizational services, and Fremont Sunday Market vendor Sunwink Seattle.
