WALLA WALLA
LAUNCHPAD
Local ideas. Shared opportunity. A new pathway into downtown.
Supported by T-Mobile
The Downtown Walla Walla Foundation received a $50,000 T-Mobile Hometown Grant to help bring the Walla Walla Launchpad to life.
The funding will help equip and activate a professional, flexible environment where entrepreneurs can connect with customers, build visibility, and grow.
Walla Walla is filled with entrepreneurs ready to share their ideas, talents, and stories.
The Walla Walla Launchpad is an initiative of the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation designed to connect local entrepreneurs with flexible space, customers, resources, and community partnerships while creating new opportunities to become part of downtown’s future.
What is the Launchpad?
The Launchpad is envisioned as a shared, flexible retail space where local entrepreneurs can test ideas, build visibility, connect with customers, and take the next step in their journey.
By creating a more accessible pathway into downtown, the Launchpad will support local entrepreneurship while bringing new activity and opportunity to underutilized downtown spaces.
Help Shape the Walla Walla Launchpad
Our first step is listening.
Through the Entrepreneur Interest Survey, we want to learn more about local entrepreneurs, the barriers they experience, and the space, resources, and support that could help them move forward.
You do not need an established business or a fully developed plan to participate. If you have an idea, talent, or story you are ready to explore, we want to hear from you.
Sign up for updates and follow the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation for the latest information.
Where the Project Stands
The Downtown Walla Walla Foundation is currently working through location details with downtown property owners.
Over the coming year, survey responses and continued community engagement will help inform the design, structure, and opportunities offered through the Launchpad.
