CELEBRATING DREAMS 2025
CULTIVATING OUR COLLECTIVE ABUNDANCE
A DECADE OF CONNECTION, CELEBRATION & GROWTH
For 10 years, Celebrating Dreams has been a cornerstone event where women entrepreneurs connect, grow, and gain recognition for their impact. In 2025, the Washington Women’s Business Center marked the 10th anniversary at the Mercer Island Community & Event Center, gathering over 150 attendees and 45 women-owned businesses for an evening of celebration, collaboration, and connection.
This year’s theme, “Cultivating Our Collective Abundance,” reflected the shared growth, resilience, and success that flourish when women support one another. From handcrafted goods to innovative tech, the showcases highlighted the depth and diversity of our region’s entrepreneurial talent. Guests explored new partnerships, discovered resources, and felt the power of being seen, supported, and celebrated.
