Ideas Wanted
The Tourism Promotion Area (TPA) was established by Snohomish County following a petition for establishment from the lodging industry. The primary goal of the TPA is to increase overnight stays in Snohomish County. The TPA is looking to provide grant support to new ideas and events that bring loads of life and overnight lodging to the County.
Come One, And All
This program is open to applications from public, nonprofit or private entities with a demonstrated ability to accomplish the proposed project. Bring your big ideas to Snohomish County. The Advisory Board meets the third Tuesday of each month. Meetings are currently being held virtually via Zoom. Grant applications need to be submitted by the first of that month in order to be presented to the Advisory Board.
Your Creativity is the Limit
Some projects in our region that we know to be successful include a focus on outdoor recreation, sporting events, conventions and tradeshows, festivals, niche conferences and concerts…but that's not all. Chances are you've got an idea for something we haven't even thought of yet.
Marketing & Promotions
TPA Funds support marketing and promotion of events that increase visitors and hotel stays in Snohomish County. Previous median project funding has been $40,000. The TPA generally does not support administrative, venue, operations, or personnel-related costs. Projects are one-year funding unless otherwise indicated.
