JOIN THE CHAMBER

Winthrop Chamber Highlights

The Winthrop Chamber of Commerce has a strong history of joining for the common good.

Over 110 years ago, Guy Waring founded the town of Winthrop and launched the Methow Trading Company encouraging other businesses to join him. In the 1920s, the Winthrop Civic League was formed to provide business and community opportunities. Winthrop’s crowning business involvement was in the 1970s when Kathryn Wagner and the Chamber rallied every business to commit to Westernization fully.

Today the Winthrop Chamber of Commerce continues to be a key element in the success of every business in Winthrop. This website proudly showcases the area businesses that are Chamber members. General Chamber meetings are on the second Thursday of the month at 8:30 am at the Winthrop Barn Auditorium or on Zoom. We would love to have your business join our businesses in making our community as strong as possible.
