Asako Fujikura Apodaca is the Office Manager at the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce. She maintains membership program data collection and assists with marketing projects. She loves the spirit of collaboration at the Chamber and working to develop more harmony between Japanese and Federal Way businesses. Member’s smiles warm her heart and encourage her to keep asking questions and finding solutions.

    Asako comes to us from Tokyo, Japan and lived in Vancouver, Canada for a year before making the Pacific Northwest of the United States her home. She graduated Highline College in 2017 with a Small Business and Entrepreneurship Degree and serves on Highline’s Business Curriculum Advisory Committee that consists of local business professionals.

Rachel runs the helm of the Chamber’s Membership, a ship she enjoys sailing. Her Chamber experience extends beyond marketing, having served as the youngest Chamber Ambassador in the history of the Pennsylvanian hamlet from which she hails.

You can find Rachel planted next to a body of water, be it a lake, river or the Puget Sound. An avid kayaker, Rachel enjoys water activities of all kinds and has her sights on kayaking all of the many lakes Federal Way has to offer.

Along with her Chamber experience, Rachel has worked in marketing since attending Mercyhurst University with a major in English Literature. Her green thumb is her biggest passion and her garden is where she is most productive.
