Napavine joins Lewis County neighbors in combined licensing service

OLYMPIA, WASH. – April 18, 2019 – Today, the Department of Revenue announces that Napavine is joining the state Business Licensing Service (BLS).

Napavine links arms with its Lewis County sister cities, Chehalis and Centralia, as full partners in the service that connects local licensing. BLS serves more than two dozen communities in Southwest Washington from the sandy shores of the Long Beach peninsula to countryside cities in the shadows of the Central Cascades.

BLS partner communities support local businesses by simplifying license applications, renewals and payments. Revenue manages one of the few systems nationwide allowing businesses to register with state agencies and cities in a single transaction.
