Proposal Questions Please limit your answers to no more than one page for each question. 1. Tell us about your promotion, program, facility, event or activity and why you think it will increase tourists traveling to and staying in Jefferson County. Include a general description of the promotion, program, facility, event or activity including its purpose, history, etc. Thank you, LTAC board members, for your support of the Chimacum Farmers Market (CFM). With your continued investment in promotion, we are growing our vendor, tourist, and local shopper base for a more sustainable rural farmers market and local economy. Your investments in regional promotions, live music, staff time to promote and lead our markets, as well as for kids’ activities, are critical to the success of the CFM. Please join us in 2026 as a CFM partner. The 501 (c) 3 non-profit Jefferson County Farmers Markets (JCFM) operates the Port Townsend Farmers Market (PTFM) and the CFM, with a mission to support local farmers and artisans with vibrant marketplaces that cultivate community and provide access to healthy food for all. JCFM has a successful 33-year track record of operating vibrant farmers markets in Jefferson County. We support small business success and local economic growth through our marketplaces by directly connecting makers and growers with our community and visitors alike. Our farmers markets serve more than 100 small farms, food, and art businesses this year, providing affordable commerce and community gathering space. The CFM operates on Sundays from 10am to 2pm, May through October. The Market will celebrate 18 years of operation in 2026. Founded by the Chimacum Grange in 2008, the CFM has made a home for itself in the grass next to the Chimacum Corner Farmstand since 2010. JCFM took over the operation of the CFM in 2010 to support its growth. More than 40 farm, food, and art vendors participate in the CFM this year, offering fresh, locally grown, and artisan foods, as well as high-quality arts and crafts. We strive to ensure that people from all economic backgrounds can access fresh, local food by providing matching funds to stretch the buying power of shoppers using federal food assistance programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/EBT), and Women, Infants, and Children and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Assistance Programs. JCFM creates a vibrant community space that brings visitors and locals back for more. Live music, kids’ activities, product quality and diversity make our farmers market stand out. Our farmers markets help establish Jefferson County as an agricultural, food, and arts destination, attracting about 70,000 shoppers annually between our two locations. On its own, the CFM generates over 10,000 annual visitors, as many as half of them from outside Jefferson County. 2. If this is a continuing or reoccurring promotion, program, facility or event, describe your organization’s prior activities. If applicable, how is it different than in the past? RECEIVED 09/05/25 Page 5 of 30 6 | Page We have been building the CFM over the past 18 years from a struggling farmers market into a regional gem. While the market remains small in size, it has grown significantly over the last few years, in part thanks to LTAC support. In 2025, we have a rotation of 40 farm, food, and arts businesses participating in the market, as well as 19 community nonprofits. This is the largest number of participating businesses the market has ever had. Vendor growth is a testament to the fact that local entrepreneurs view the market as a viable place to establish and grow their businesses. This year, at the request of our vendors, we extended the market season, opening in May rather than June. We are seeing similar attendance numbers to last year, in the 350-600 weekly attendance. With an extra month of markets this season, we anticipate reaching close to 11,000 CFM visitors this year. Ultimately, the CFM both draws visitors to our community and makes Jefferson County a vibrant place to live for local entrepreneurs. Marketing Budget change for 2026: As we head into the 2026 season, we face a significant change in our market promotion budget. Over the last three years, we professionalized our marketing with support from a United States Department of Agriculture Farmers Market Promotion Program grant. This grant ends in September of 2025, leaving a gap in our budget for advertising and staff time to promote our farmers markets. You will see that we have included more staff time in our 2026 LTAC budget to ensure we can continue creating professional-quality promotions for our market. In part with LTAC support, we will maintain a part-time marketing coordinator position promoting our farmers markets and vendor businesses regionally. 3. How does your promotion, program, facility or event support one of the Highest Priorities or Additional Considerations listed below under “Other Criteria” (see page 9)? While not a facility itself, the CFM creates community space where locals and visitors alike gather, connect, and thrive. The CFM is like the town square for the Chimacum community and regional visitors. It creates a place where people of all backgrounds access food, arts, free live music, and connection. As is true for public infrastructure, community investment is necessary to maintain a strong market. As a nonprofit-led market, the CFM charges low vendor fees that support small businesses in entering the marketplace, connecting to shoppers, and adding to the vibrancy and resilience of our local economy. LTAC grant support helps offset the staff time, live music, and kids’ activities that attract the community to our rural market. In addition to supporting market operations and events, LTAC funds will be used to promote the CFM locally and regionally. We will utilize grant dollars to enhance our social media presence, print rack cards for distribution to local lodging establishments, advertise in the Seattle area to attract regional visitors, and create a locally produced video for social media, our website, regional partners, and our local movie theaters, The Rose and Starlight Room. We see the impact of these strategies weekly when we meet visitors to the market from all over Washington State, as well as locals who are finding the market for the first time. RECEIVED 09/05/25 Page 6 of 30 7 | Page 4. Describe how you intend to market/promote your promotion, program, facility, event or activity to potential tourists who reside outside Jefferson County or traveling more than 50 miles. a. If an event, the date of the event: b. The timeline for the tourism promotion activity you are proposing (e.g. May through July, 226). c. Target Audience d. Promotion methods you intend to use to reach the target audience. e. Describe how you will promote overnight stays at Jefferson County lodging establishments. f. If you intend to collaborate with another agency or non-profit to provide these services, please state the name of the organization and describe the nature of the collaboration: The CFM operates on Sundays, May through October, from 10am to 2pm. Our target audience includes local and regional visitors of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds. We promote our markets using a variety of methods from banners and A-frame signs along the road to print and digital advertisements. We use boosted social media posts on Facebook and Instagram, and short, catchy videos, a weekly newsletter, digital advertisement in the Seattle area through publications such as the Seattle Times, Stranger, and Seattle Gay News, and print advertisement in the Waterside Magazine distributed through the Washington and British Columbia ferries. We also utilize print advertisements in the Peninsula Daily News and Leader visitor guides, as well as promotional postcards distributed through local lodging. We promote overnight stays with catchy messages and beautiful storytelling photos. Our advertising messages promote Jefferson County as an agricultural, artisan food, and arts destination with taglines including “Explore the flavors of Jefferson County,” “40+ Farm, Artisan Food and Arts Vendors,” and “Taste the Season.” We include information about our food access programs, product selection, and live music and activities to show the diversity of the Market’s offerings and the inclusivity of the CFM for people of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds. We pair advertising messages with stunning images taken by local professional photographers that tell the story of the CFM and our agricultural, artisan food, and arts community. We co-promote our CFM along with our flagship market, the PTFM. The PTFM is better known and well respected statewide as an exceptional small-town market. With better name recognition, the CFM benefits from being co-promoted with the PTFM. This copromotion also often allows us to pair Port Townsend and Jefferson County Lodging Tax dollars to expand the reach and frequency of our marketing efforts. 5. How will you measure the effectiveness of your promotion, program, facility, event or activity? a. Also, describe how you will document and report to the County the economic impact from your promotion, program, facility, event or activity. (State law requires the County to report annually to the State Department of Community Development and Economic Trade about the number of lodging stays and RECEIVED 09/05/25 Page 7 of 30 8 | Page economic benefit from tourists generated by use of Lodging Tax proceeds for tourism promotion.) We use metrics provided by our digital advertisement to estimate our reach as well as subscription numbers and copies distributed to estimate our print advertisement reach. Through digital advertisements with the Seattle Times and Stranger, we reach about 1,612,727 readers. We plan to continue advertising with the Waterside Magazine, which is distributed on ferries across Washington and British Columbia, as well as at visitor centers and airports. The Waterside reaches an audience of about 100,000 people. Our social media posts featuring videos have the highest engagement of all our posts. As a bonus, we share videos with regional partners such as the Olympic Culinary Loop, the State of Washington Tourism, and the Washington State Farmers Market Association. We also utilize in- kind sponsorship from the Rose Theatre to showcase our videos locally on the big screen for moviegoers. Through these methods, we have reached 30,000 viewers, and thousands more see our videos thanks to partner sharing. JCFM strives to create a repeat shopper base through vibrant farmers markets. Curating a great shopping experience brings locals and tourists back for more. Your support to host weekly live music and monthly kids’ activities helps us build both a destination market for travelers to our area and a beloved local’s market that our vendors can count on for weekly sales. During the 2026 season, we will use tracking methods that have been effective for our markets. JCFM uses a combination of shopper surveys, customer counts, and sales tracking to measure attendance and the Market’s economic impact. On Sundays, we count every single shopper who enters the market. There is one primary entry point for the CFM that is visible from the Market Information Booth. This allows us to track every shopper entering the market using a hand tally counter. Through a monthly dot survey, we track where shoppers come from and what brings them to the market. Shoppers answer a five-question survey using dot stickers to vote on their answers from a series of possible answers written on flip chart paper. We ask questions, including where shoppers live, their primary reason for visiting the market, how much they plan to spend at the market, and if they are staying at local lodging. During the 2025 season, this survey reveals that nearly half of CFM visitors originate from outside Jefferson County, including areas on the Olympic Peninsula and even international locations. A total of nearly 20% of CFM shoppers reported staying at local lodging or camping. Market vendors report their sales information to JCFM weekly. We use this information to monitor the success of the CFM as a sales venue for small businesses, as well as the Market’s economic impact on these businesses. We will report the CFM sales, attendance, and visitor survey data annually to the Jefferson County LTAC committee through our final grant report. Through our LTAC-sponsored advertising, we reach approximately 2.5K viewers in Washington and British Columbia, as well as visitors to the state. We review the viewer/reader metrics of RECEIVED 09/05/25 Page 8 of 30 9 | Page the publications we advertise in annually to help us choose how to maximize the impact of our marketing dollars. 6. What economic impact can we expect in Jefferson County from your proposed promotion, program, facility, event or activity? a. Actual or estimated number of tourists at your event/facility last year (2025): b. Estimated number of tourists who will attend your event/facility this year (2026): c. Projected economic impact in Jefferson County from your event/facility (e.g. number of tourists who will stay overnight in Jefferson County-based lodging establishments; economic impact for Jefferson County restaurants, community facilities, amenities, events, and businesses). While the CFM operates through October of this year, we can provide an attendance estimate based on the season to date. By averaging our attendance and multiplying it by our 26 CFM dates this year, we estimate serving approximately 11,000 shoppers in 2025. Approximately 50% of our shoppers live more than 50 miles away. That is about 5,500 shoppers from 50+ miles visiting the CFM annually. We anticipate similar CFM attendance next year. With approximately 20% of these shoppers (1,100 people) staying at local lodging, we estimate that the economic benefit of the CFM to lodging establishments amounts to at least $220,000, that is, $200 per CFM shopper/lodging guest this season. We estimate that the CFM will have a similar economic benefit for county lodging establishments in 2026. It is also essential to note the impact of the CFM on participating businesses. Last year, CFM businesses generated $202,000 in direct sales to market shoppers. This year, with a month extension to the CFM season, we anticipate seeing vendor sales reach $240,000. This revenue supports local jobs and small businesses, while also benefiting our broader local economy. According to the American Independent Business Alliance, each dollar spent at a local business has a ripple effect that recirculates through the local economy 2-4 times. If you apply that effect to small business revenue generated at the CFM, the real economic impact is more like $480K-$960K in local economic activity. 7. Describe your organization’s area of expertise. Do you provide a unique service? We are experts in hosting farmers markets, live music, and events that unite our community, support our local economy, and incubate local small businesses. JCFM is well-connected in our community and has strong partnerships with our vendors, shoppers, local businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Collaboration is one of our superpowers. We partner with local professional photographers and videographers who provide high-quality photos and videos. We interview our vendors and share their stories in our newsletter and the Leader. Local photographers and videographers capture the feel of our markets with beautiful images taken at market throughout the season and on participating farms. Our videos are playful and fresh. See the video we created this RECEIVED 09/05/25 Page 9 of 30 10 | Page season with LTAC support here. Our storytelling, bright and authentic photos, and videos make our marketing stand out. Our community farmers markets provide a unique and highly sought-after opportunity for direct human connection to our food, arts, and culture. They create spaces for community to gather and develop meaningful relationships with our neighbors, both having a social and economic benefit. While we create markets where our community thrives, we also attract visitors to Jefferson County and generate stays at local lodging. With your support we will continue building the CFM for our community and tourists alike. Thank you for considering our proposal. Please contact me if you have any questions, Amanda Millholland, JCFM Executive Director, info@jcfmarkets.org, 360-379-9098. 3.

RECEIVED 09/05/25 Page 10 of 30 11 | Page 2026 LTAC Opportunity Information 1. Jefferson County’s Proposal Process - The Jefferson County LTAC solicits service proposals each year. The proposal form is attached, posted on the County’s website, www.co.jefferson.wa.us and may also be requested by calling the Jefferson County Commissioner’s Office at the Courthouse, (360) 385-9102. This year, the Committee will review proposals on September 30, 2025 from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Applicants are asked to attend the September 30, 2025 meeting beginning at 10:30 a.m. The County will provide meeting information for all complete applications. At that meeting, each proposing agency will answer questions from the Committee regarding their proposal. The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners regarding which proposals to fund, and at what funding levels within available revenues. The review of the LTAC recommendations and final decision about how to use the lodging tax monies is made by the County Commissioners. Each agency will be notified of the status of their proposal. Contracts are prepared by the County and sent to agencies. 2. Available Funding for 2026 Organizations submitting proposals should be aware that a total of approximately $900,000 in lodging tax awards will be available for allocation to eligible tourism promotion activities through this RFP. This amount also includes $5,280 in staff administrative costs to manage the grants and to process invoices, and $10,000 contingency fund for Olympic Peninsula Gateway Visitor Center. County Ordinance 09-1207-98 provides for distribution of Lodging Tax as follows: • The lodging tax funds are to be used for targeted and/or regional promotion, the operation and maintenance of organizations operating tourist related facilities and their costs for local promotional activities. • Not more than 25% for the development of tourism related facilities. 3. Definitions By state law, lodging tax funds may only be used for tourism promotion and the acquisition and/or operation, including maintenance, of tourism-related facilities. The following definitions are copied verbatim from RCW 67.28.080. Note: State law changed in 2007 to include “operation” of tourism events in the definition of “tourism promotion.” "Tourism" means economic activity resulting from tourists, which may include sales of overnight lodging, meals, tours, gifts, or souvenirs. RECEIVED 09/05/25 Page 11 of 30 12 | Page "Tourist" means a person who travels from a place of residence to a different town, city, county, state, or country, for purposes of business, pleasure, recreation, education, arts, heritage, or culture. "Tourism promotion" means activities, operations, and expenditures designed to increase tourism, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists; developing strategies to expand tourism; operating tourism promotion agencies; and funding the marketing of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists. “Tourism-related means real or tangible personal property with a usable life of three or more facility” years, or constructed with volunteer labor that is: (a)(i) Owned by a public entity; (ii) owned by a nonprofit organization described under section 501(c)(3) of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as amended; or (iii) owned by a nonprofit organization described under section 501(c)(6) of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as amended, a business organization, destination marketing organization, main street organization, lodging association, or chamber of commerce and (b) used to support tourism, performing arts, or to accommodate tourist activities. 4. Proposal Evaluation Criteria Jefferson County Policy Statement for Use of the Lodging Tax Jefferson County’s Lodging Tax Fund will be the primary source of county funding for activities, operations, and expenditures designed to increase tourism. The County does not make any multi- year commitments with Lodging Tax funds. However, service providers are not limited or prohibited from making repeat annual requests of the same nature. The County intends to maintain a reserve in the Fund, and will assess on an annual basis how much of the Fund to appropriate in a given year. The Jefferson County Commissioners have created a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to conduct an annual process to solicit and recommend Lodging Tax funded services for the County Commissioners consideration. Jefferson County will only consider proposals for use of the Lodging Tax from public and non-profit agencies. The Fund will ONLY be used for the following purposes: 1. The promotion of emerging or on-going tourism events, facilities, and activities by government or non-profit agencies so as to attract and draw tourists to unincorporated Jefferson County from outside Jefferson County. 2. Operation of a tourism promotion agency (such as a visitor and convention bureau); 3. The marketing of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists to unincorporated Jefferson County from outside Jefferson County. RECEIVED 09/05/25 Page 12 of 30 13 | Page 4. Capital and/or operating costs for tourism facilities owned by a public entity or a non-profit organization as defined in State law RCW 67.28.080.1(7) – Tourism Related Facility. 5.

Other Criteria HIGHEST PRIORITIES will be given to tourism activities that reflect those defined by the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners per the memo “BoCC priorities for 2025 LTAC RFP” dated October 14, 2024: 1. Destination development, such as supporting a Public Facilities District to build a pool, public campground improvements, and developing the Gateway VIC are examples of the allowed use listed in RCW 67.28.1816 and represent our county’s top priority after an extended period of de-emphasizing this type of investment. 2. “The marketing and operations of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists,” as listed in the RCW is our second priority, continuing years of investment in event marketing. 3. Destination marketing, often called “Tourism Marketing” is our lowest priority for 2025 Lodging tax funding.

Payment must occur after the services have been performed and documentation in keeping with the contract is submitted to the County. 2. The County may not pay for donated or volunteer services or pay more than the actual cost incurred by the contracting agency to provide the service. RECEIVED 09/05/25 Page 15 of 30 16 | Page 5. Background Information Jefferson County’s Lodging Tax The Lodging Tax is an excise (sales) tax authorized by State law in RCW 67.28, Public Stadium, Convention, Arts and Tourism Facilities. In 1998, the State Legislature amended Chapter 67.28 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) to allow local governments to assess an additional 2% tax on lodging for tourism promotion and/or tourism-related facilities (sometimes referred to as “the new 2%”). In April 1999, the County Commission, by Ordinance, increased the County's Lodging Tax from a 2% to a 4% tax as allowed by RCW 67.28. Jefferson County’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Per RCW 67.28.1817, the State requires that local governments collecting the Lodging Tax establish a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee consisting of at least five (5) members: The Chair – a member of the County Commission or their designee 2 members – representing the lodging industry 2 members – representing activities authorized to be funded by said tax The Committee’s role is advisory in nature, with the Committee’s purpose being to advise the County Commissioners. The Committee must select the candidates from amongst the applicants applying for use of revenues and provide a list of such candidates and recommended amounts of funding to the County Commissioners for final determination. In 1998, the Jefferson County Commissioners created such a Committee, and asked the Committee to establish an annual process to solicit and review proposals for tourism services eligible for lodging tax funding. Committee members are appointed by the County Commissioners as part of the County’s regular advisory committee appointment process.
