The main street of a town is associated with the center or heart of a community. It is the place where human relationships are played out. On main streets around the world some relationships are fair and compassionate, some unfair and biased.

Though good communication is one key to happy, effective relationships, people often hesitate to seek professional help when it breaks down and conflict occurs. In addition, immigration patterns are changing so quickly that main streets are taking on a new look and requiring new communication skills.

This intercultural communication, so rich with potential, often shifts from interesting to challenging to frustrating and even dysfunctional, if not well understood and managed.
Main Street Mediation and Communication Services is in business to offer appropriate processes that meet the unique needs of our clients. Our goal is for clients to feel safe, comfortable, accepted and able to make improvements as a result of our working together.

Main Street Mediation was founded in 1996 after many years of mediating community, workplace and educational disputes in the state of Washington. The selection of the mediator, coach or facilitator is an important first agreement in the resolution of a dispute, and an important step toward developing trust. We encourage clients to speak to several professionals, and ask lots of questions before selecting one to work with. Working with capable and dedicated people is one way the client can influence the outcome. We believe there is richness to be found in our differences, and our services help build bridges among them.
