Can anyone help me with some local groups or some resources?

I am planning on moving from NY state to Seattle, WA and have a small business that I have just started up here. I am contacting the state government website but maybe there are other resources available...

Yes! Check out the SBA (Small Business Administration) websites and locations. They should be able to help you with everything you need. Also, check out the Seattle and Washington state government websites. You might also want to check with the state of New York for other things about moving your business location. I can't remember which things you have to reapply for, but there's plenty of paperwork involved in changing the location of your business. Check out the links below:

Seattle.gov - Business and Development resources

Seattle Score

Small Business Administration - Washington (http://www.sba.gov/localresources/district/wa/index.html - broken link)

SBA locations via Google Maps

I'm a bit rusty on these principals (another reason to brush up!), but I hope this helps you in one way or another!

Maybe you've seen this already, but in case not I'll toss it out there:

WA State Licensing: Start a business

It's a good starting point for obtaining a business license with lots of pointers for getting started with a business. Also, check out the local chambers of commerce.

A couple other related sites:
Access Washington - Start a Business (http://access.wa.gov/business/start.aspx - broken link)

Running a Business

If you need merchant credit card processing, Costco has decent rates:
Merchant Credit Card Processing - Elavon and Costco

Best of luck to you!
