Economic Impacts

  • Hotels throughout Pierce, Kitsap, Thurston, and King counties hosted players, media, volunteers, and spectators
  • Hotels as far away as Lewis County benefitted from the compression-effect of near-capacity at hotels closer to Chambers Bay
  • The value of the media attention is incalculable
