NWCC Endorsement 

"Our membership in NWCC has been very valuable. We have called the hotline on numerous occasions and found the response time of an average of 8-9 minutes extremely effective. We see the Echelon security officers patrolling our area, which has helped reduce the number of houseless and tents that used to be rampant on our property adjacent to I-405. NWCC's ongoing work to clean up and revitalize the Pearl is working."

- Cary Ely, Director of Stores, BASCO Appliances
