Bruce Gryniewski
Partner

After over 30 years in the trenches of Washington state politics and public affairs, Bruce Gryniewski has built a reputation as a trusted advisor able to bridge ideological divides. Bruce has guided clients through the unique intersection of government, business, and media in the Northwest on matters ranging from energy siting and superfund cleanups to public safety ballot measures and state legislative lobbying.

Bruce offers clients high-level strategy and strategic counsel, based on his deep public policy expertise and relationships built over decades. With his steady resolve and sharp analytical mind, Bruce leads clients through some of their most difficult policy and public affairs decisions. During a crisis, he is the adviser you want on your side.

Bruce is especially known for his effective advocacy on environmental issues. During his time as Executive Director of Washington Conservation Voters, he shaped the organization into a well-funded, influential voice for environmental policies. Bruce was also pivotal in the launch of Priorities for a Healthy Washington, a legislative program that has led to unprecedented gains for the environmental community in the state legislature.

His coalition-building skills were also demonstrated as the Executive Director of Washington CeaseFire, where he steered an unlikely coalition of gun control and second amendment groups to support gun storage legislation. All together, these experiences have made Bruce a valued advisor for clients who seek strategic communications guidance, especially during a crisis, meaningful engagement with their communities, coalition building support and media relations.

“Everyone has the right to make their case with the public and decision-makers. We’re at your side so you can.”
