Our mission

To promote and advance business, networking, and leadership, for the success of women in commercial real estate.

Our history

What began in 1985 as an informal lunch among women involved in the commercial real estate industry has now grown into an organization of over 200 active members. Commercial Real Estate Women Northwest (CREW-Northwest) was officially formed as a Washington non-profit corporation in 1986. In January of 1990, Crew-Northwest joined the National Network of Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW Network), to provide greater exposure and networking possibilities for our members in the Pacific Northwest. In 2002, in order to more specifically describe our membership, CREW-Northwest officially changed its name to Commercial Real Estate Women Seattle, and is now also known as CREW Seattle.

Our Initiatives

Business Networking

Facilitating business networking and deal making among our multi-disciplinary membership is the cornerstone of our organization. We deliver impactful networking opportunities including three Leadership Summits and the CREW Network Convention and Marketplace annually. Members also have exclusive access to our CREWbiz technology platform, which serves as a membership directory, resource and referral center, personal marketing tool and app.
