Edmonds Auto Parts and Marine Supply has been in business since 1972.

These 6 local businesses have been around forever

By Janice Podsada Herald Writer

Their menu has changed over the years, but they still offer cottage cheese as a side.

Your grandmother bought windshield wipers there for her cherry-red Dodge Dart in 1972.

They’ve been unclogging your pipes since you bought your first home.

The area’s longtime businesses are scattered from one end of Snohomish County to the other.

For some, family ownership

now extends into a second, third or fourth generation.

Other businesses have welcomed new owners, who recognized the strength of a company’s reputation and kept the name.

This month, The Herald Business Journal profiles a halfdozen longtime businesses: Greenshields Industrial Supply in Everett, 1953; Vintage Cafe in Everett, 1976; Work n’ More, with locations in Everett, Lynnwood and Arlington, 1976; Werner Paddles in Monroe, 1970; Day and Nite Plumbing, Lynnwood,

1954; and Edmonds Auto Parts and Marine Supply, 1972.

It’s admittedly a sample.

There are scores more local businesses that have celebrated a 25th, 50th or 63rd anniversary.

Among the oldest: Bargreen’s Coffee Co. in Everett began delivering beans in a horse-drawn wagon in 1898.

Macomber Farms in Granite Falls was founded 1906.

In fact, the county boasts more than three dozen of century-old farm operations.

Some of these legacy businesses were born in garages.

Others were scraped together with help from a bank or family loan. Their founders added elbow grease and too many 12-hour days to get off the ground.

Less than 25 percent of U.S. companies are still in business after 20 years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Beyond a quarter-century, the percentage dips into the single digits, by some estimates.

And while they may have been around for ages, that doesn’t mean they’re not up-to-the minute. Greenshields

Industrial Supply can help outfit your trenchless technology excavation business.

Many of Werner Paddles’ products are made from carbon fiber, the same material used

by Boeing and other aerospace companies to create the newest generation of air frames and wings. The Vintage Cafe serves a mean Cosmopolitan. Work n’ More offers hard hats in traditional yellow and hot pink.

They’re out there, so stop in.

This might be a ‘boring business,’ but it sure has longevity Jerry Murphy was careful to change very little when he bought Greenshields Industrial Supply

By Janice Podsada Herald Writer

EVERETT — Early in his accounting career, Jerry Murphy helped swing a few high-stakes business deals.

When Seafirst Bank sold itself to BankAmerica Corp. in 1983, he was on the Seattlebased bank’s mergers-andacquisitions team.

“I was used to buying businesses for other people,” said Murphy, who specialized in purchase and sale audits. “I made sure the books looked good before a company was bought and sold.”

When he decided to buy his own his business, he wanted no part of anything risky or trendy.

“I wanted to find a boring business — one that had been around for a long time,” Murphy said.

Greenshields Industrial Supply in Everett checked all the boxes, and it was for sale.

By the time Murphy bought the business, Greenshields had already passed the halfcentury mark.

Today, it’s almost 70 years old.

In 1953, Frank Greenshields founded the business as a logging supply store. The Greenshields family ran the store at 710 N. Broadway Ave. in Everett until Murphy’s 2005 purchase.

The company supplies excavators, landscapers and bridge and road crews with hydraulic hoses, lifting gears and cables and hooks.

“Our main business is hose assemblies and rigging See GREENSHIELDS, Page B7

assemblies. The rigging is for construction and consists of chain, wire rope and nylon slings for lifting and tying down loads.”

Customers include local municipalities, Sound Transit, the Snohomish County Public Utility District and the U.S. Navy.

The firm also sells two-wheel garden tractors, tools, safety supplies and commercial lawnmowers.

“We are are an industrial supply general store,” Murphy said.

Here’s what Murphy didn’t do when he purchased the company: Change the name.

As an accountant and auditor, he had seen people and companies change the names of the businesses they’d acquired.

“Often that didn’t work,” he said. “The business would lose its identity and fail.”

“Greenshields’ reputation is so well known. It’s known around the country. I was careful to preserve that,” he said.

He also kept all the employees. “We sell hoses and rigging gear — that takes experienced staff,” Murphy said.

“When I bought the business it had eight employees. Four had been there more than 10 years. We held onto all of them,” he said.

“We distinguish ourselves by quickly making assemblies when the customer comes in the store. They rarely have to leave and come back — we work fast!” he said.

“Everyone is fighting Amazon. Most of our business is service and on-the-spot assembly. That’s something they never will do.”

Werner Furrer needed a paddle, so he made one That was in 1965. Today Monroe-based Werner Paddles is still innovating.

By Janice Podsada Herald Writer

Sound Safety Products—Work N More

MONROE — The first fiberglass kayak that Werner Furrer Sr. purchased back in 1965 didn’t come with a paddle.

It was like a rod without a reel, a toy without a battery.

Instead of heading to the store, Furrer, an engineer by trade, disappeared into the family garage to build his own.

Three months later, he emerged with his new, hand-built paddle.

In the years ahead, the paddles he

designed found favor with his wife, children and fellow kayakers.

In the early 1970s, he and his oldest son, Werner Furrer Jr., launched Werner Paddles.

It was a part-time enterprise, headquartered in the aforementioned garage.

Furrer Sr. had been constructing his own and his family’s outdoor gear since immigrating to the U.S. in the mid-1950s from Switzerland via Canada.

Werner Paddle’s first mass-produced paddle was “a heavy wooden coat rod with See PADDLE, Page B10

Sound Safety Products was founded in 1976 by Don Van Trojen and his wife, selling safety shoes and industrial safety equipment in the Pacific Northwest.

It has been a family business from the beginning, employing Don’s sister, both his daughters, Cindy Calvert and Wendy Olmstead, grandchildren, and two son-in laws, throughout the years. Wendy and Cindy made Don’s fondest dream come true in 2011, when they became Co-Owners of the company, after his retirement. They are enjoying being at the helm today, and continue to grow the business surrounded by a dynamic staff and wonderful, loyal, customers.

Both sisters worked in the company prior to taking ownership. Cindy started working for the company in her teens and has performed almost all the jobs throughout her tenure with the company. Wendy also worked in the company as a teen and after attending university, then went on to pursue other opportunities in sales, and returned to the company in 2011, to take up the reins along with her sister.

These women use a “divide and conquer” strategy to running the company. Wendy uses her sales

When Judy Matheson first considered opening a business in downtown Everett, nearly everyone she knew told her it was a bad idea—major businesses such as the Bon Marche and J.C, Penney’s were deserting the downtown core for the lure of the malls.

expertise to head up the Safety/Industrial side of the company, where she and other staff personally oversee the large industrial customers and government contracts. Cindy oversees the Work ‘n More stores, as well as facilitates the purchasing of a great deal of the apparel for the Work ‘n More stores.

This is a unique and dynamic team who share common goals and beliefs. They are 100% invested in the company, because if one fails, they fail the other. They both very much believe in SERVICE, SERVICE, SERVICE to the customers. They attribute their success to being able to flex to meet the customers’ needs, with creative solutions. Both women have a “hands-on management approach”, which gives the them ability to make thoughtful, timely decisions, with regards to product, pricing, operations, and the direction of the company.

Sound Safety Products is one of the last independent, full line, locally-owned, safety equipment distributors in Western Washington, and is the only one that is solely owned by women. Growth and future expansion continue to be part of the company’s goals, as well as more national and commercial business.

She was right. This year, J. Matheson, located at 2615 Colby in the heart of Everett’s business district, is celebrating 28 years in business.

Matheson says her success is based on giving customers what they want: high-end products and top-notch service.

From crystal to cookware, unique clothing to luxurious bath products, and distinctive home décor to one-of-a-kind toys, J. Matheson has it all. The store is continually voted Best Gift Shop and Best Home Interiors in the Daily Herald’s Reader Choice Awards. Finding a unique mix of gifts takes hard work and a discerning eye—Matheson travels across the country to gift shows, and instead of curling up with a good book at night, she admits to reading gift catalogues.

Says one of her customers, “Everything she buys, I love.”

But Matheson, born and raised in Everett, was convinced that there were many people who would appreciate a downtown store offering imaginative, high-quality products.

Award winning customer service is the other part of the successful J. Matheson equation. The store even earned the prestigious Snohomish County Customer Service Award of the Year. Matheson says, “We love our customers, they are like family to us.” Her customers agree, with comments such as “The excellent, warm and personable staff went the extra mile and made this a superb stop!”

Decades after taking a leap of faith and opening what is now a sought-after gift store in Snohomish County, Matheson says she owes success to the fact that she “was raised by parents who taught me the value of hard work, gave me the courage to take risks, and inspired me to open my own business.“

a rudimentary fiberglass paddle attached to either end,” said Taylor Robertson, Werner Paddle’s marketing director.

In the 1970s, a then-small Seattle outfitter, Recreational Equipment Inc., “bought a bunch and sold them for $17 a piece,” Robertson said.

“It was pretty cutting edge for the time.

It had a round shaft, and the paddles were lightweight, flat fiberglass blades,” he said.

By the mid-1980s, the family business had incorporated and moved to a manufacturing facility in Everett.

The growing company moved to Sultan in 1996, then Monroe in 2011.

Today, Werner employs 60 in North America, including 45 at the Monroe headquarters and production plant.

The company’s patented, adjustableferrule system, which locks the shaft into the angle of one’s choosing, is used by other paddle makers through license agreements with Werner, Robertson said.

I have a great team that has been extremely supportive, along with great friends, family and awesome customers. I’m very thankful to the Wild Birds Unlimited Franchise and all their support, plus we have the #1, best customers who share our passion for backyard bird feeding. Our motto is “We Bring People and Nature Together”. I look forward to going to work every day because we have fun sharing and laughing with our customers, and hearing the different experiences people share about “Their Birds” and their love of nature. We love and greatly appreciate all our customers. Thank you to all our great Customers for all your support over the last year, and your friendship and passion for the birds you share with us.

We look forward too many more years.

Werner Furrer Jr. retired in 2005. His younger brother, Bruce Furrer, is now in charge.

Besides kayak paddles, Werner produces paddles for canoes, kayak fishing, whitewater rafting and paddles for people who prefer to stand up.

Local artists and in-house designers add artistry and flair to the blades: a kayak-fishing paddle is decorated with shimmering orange and green scales; a stand-up paddle sports a blue-green abstract of Puget Sound.

Werner Furrer Sr., in his 90s, still drops by the office to check out the latest designs, Robertson said.

The company’s first kayak paddle weighed more than three-pounds; its latest models weigh 28 ounces or less.

Handles and blades are made from carbon fiber composites, the same strong, lightweight material that Boeing and other aerospace manufacturers have incorporated into the latest generation of jetliners, including the 777X. While a heavy paddle may give your arms a workout, it won’t get you far, Robertson said.

“It takes about 1,000 strokes to go a mile.

The lighter the paddle, the longer you can stay on the water,” he said.

It’s as rare as a carburetor: an independent auto-parts store Greg Ouellette still enjoys the business his family bought in 1971, but the future is not bright.

By Janice Podsada Herald Writer

EDMONDS — Years ago, just about every corner gas station had an auto repair shop.

A dozen or so of those shops feed an auto parts store, said Greg Ouellette, owner of Edmonds Auto Parts and Marine Supply.

But in recent years those repair shops have closed, along with the independent auto parts stores they once supported, Ouellette said.

As proof, Ouellette, 67, opens the pages of a 1972 phone book: it lists more than 40 auto parts stores between north King County and Skagit County.

Now there are two or three, at most, he said.

Ouellette’s father, Savere “Olie” Ouellette bought Edmonds Auto Parts at 636 Edmonds Way in 1971.

Automobiles have changed dramatically since then, and so have their owners. The under-50 set typically doesn’t work on them, Ouellette said.

Electronic fuel injection systems have replaced carburetors. Onboard computers and sensors monitor the engine, brakes and other systems.

The result?

Cars are more reliable, said Greg Ouellette.

In recent years, internet sales have cut into Edmonds Auto Parts’ revenue.

Customers now buy aftermarket accessories, “like running boards for your truck or a rack for skis,” online, Ouellette said.

To boost business, Edmonds Auto

Parts has begun stocking marine supplies.

Its machine shop specializes in rebuilding carburetors.

In the mid-1980s, car makers replaced carburetors with fuel injection systems to mix air and fuel.

But boats still use the mechanical devices. “Half of our rebuild business is now boat carburetors,” Ouellete said.

People come into the store with a

purpose. “They’re not here to browse,” he said.

“We sell a lot of antifreeze, a lot of oil products and windshield wipers — we even install them while people wait.

We’ve got a rather large following, but you can’t make a living selling windshield wipers,” Ouellette said.

“Most of the items we sell are in the $10 to $40 range. More than that, and we can’t sell anything.”

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

In its heyday, Edmonds Auto Parts employed more than 10. Now there’s just three full-time employees.

When Ouellette, who purchased the business from his dad in 1977, retires, his kids won’t be taking the reins, he said.

“I told them to do something else.”

An Everett restaurant has defied the odds for 43 years

By Janice Podsada Herald Writer

EVERETT — A year ago, Lorrie Bunney turned over the keys to the Vintage Cafe to her daughter.

Amber Lang has worked at the restaurant since she was a teenager.

Now it’s her turn to run things, Bunney said.

It’s another milestone for the 43-year-old eatery at 1510 Hewitt Ave. In 1976, Bunney’s mother, Karen Staniford, got a bank loan for $16,000 and opened a restaurant in the Hove Building.

The historic structure was designed and built by architect Charles Hove the same year Everett incorporated, 1893.

The space Staniford leased had been a tavern called The Cave, open since the end of Prohibition.

Staniford named her restaurant The Alley and decorated the brick walls with photographs of Everett as a flourishing mill town.

When the doors opened, Bunney, then 14, was there busing tables.

As Bunney tells it, her mother was one of the first women in Everett to get a liquor license.

Howard Bargreen, head of a pair of longtime Everett businesses — Bargreen’s Coffee Co., and beverage distributor Crown Distributing Co. — “helped my mom get her license,” Bunney said.

“We haven’t had any other coffee than Bargreen’s since then,” she said.

In the 1970s, downtown Everett was the place to be. Shoppers had their choice of The Bon Marche, J.C. Penney, Sears and other retailers.

But that era was drawing to a close.

When Everett Mall opened in the mid1970s, the city’s retail center began to falter.

Retail tenants moved to the mall or closed, leaving empty storefronts.

“The town kind of died. Everyone left by about 1984,” Bunney said.

The lunch and dinner crowd dwindled.

Karen Staniford, who’d married Jim Staniford in 1983, enlisted his help and remodeled the restaurant.

The Alley became Aaron’s, a night spot with pool tables and live music.

purchased the building.

Within a few years, the downtown area underwent yet another transformation.

The Everett Events Center, now Angel of the Winds Arena, opened in 2003, and the Everett Silvertips Hockey Club skated into town.

Staniford and Bunney closed Aaron’s.

A few months later it re-opened as the Vintage Cafe, a family-friendly restaurant with a focus on dining and cocktails.

“Now it’s just down-home family

cooking,” Bunney said.

Downtown Everett is showing renewed signs of life, Lang said.

There are more people downtown.

More hotel guests are stopping by for a bite. The passenger terminal at Paine Field is up and running, she said.

Here’s some food for thought: Most independent restaurants close within

12 months of opening. The shelf life for those that remain is about five years, according to a Restaurant Broker’s study.

It’s been 43 years and counting for the Vintage Cafe.

Work n’ More, based in Everett, has been around for 43 years. Sisters Cindy Calvert (left) and Wendy Olmstead bought it from their father in 2011.

ANDY BRONSON / THE HERALD

If you work outside, you likely know this longtime outfitter

By Janice Podsada Herald Writer

EVERETT — In 1976, Wendy Olmstead’s father, Don Van Trojen, sold the family wheels to help finance his first store near

Hewitt Avenue and Marine View Drive.

“It was the first decent pickup truck we had and he had to sell it to pay the lease,” Olmstead recalled.

She was 9 at the time. Her sister, Cindy, was 11.

Tough decision, but it paid off in the

long run, Olmstead said.

Since then, Sound Safety Products and its retail division — the more familiar Work n’ More — have become a regional chain with five locations.

“We’re a safety equipment company, but we’re also Work n’ More,” Olmstead said.

The retail business accounts for about 60 percent of sales.

pounds? (If you’ve ever yearned for an exoskeleton, those jeans could pass muster.)

“We have a lot of merchandise,” Olmstead said. “We stack it high and deep.”

The store outfits engineers, re-bar hangers, landscapers, contractors, public works employees — just about anyone who toils outside.

In the mid-1960s, Van Trojen

gained experience selling safety shoes and equipment at Weyerhaeuser, Simpson Timber, Boeing and Scott Paper.

Eventually, he turned his expertise into Sound Safety Products and the first location on Hewitt Avenue in Everett.

In the early 1980s, he built the company’s flagship store at 3602 Broadway, where it stands today.

Under Van Trojen’s watch, the Everett “mother ship” was joined by two additional retail outlets, in Tukwila and Lynnwood.

In 2011, Olmstead and her sister, Cindy Calvert, bought the family business from their dad.

That year they opened a store in Bellevue. Last month they christened a new Arlington Work n’ More location.

Olmstead and Calvert graduated from Cascade High School in Everett, and then the University of Washington, both earning undergraduate degrees in business.

And then the sisters went their separate ways.

Calvert went into the family business, where she’d worked since her teens. She’s now president of the company.

Olmstead went off and did her own thing for several years, including selling high-end office

furniture in Seattle and women’s apparel.

“I have great taste when it comes to helping people put together uniforms,” Olmstead volunteered.

Work n’ More is the only place Calvert has ever worked.

“She was my right arm for 20 years,” said Van Trojen, now retired.“Wendy joined us as an owner in 2011,” he said.

“Cindy has the management side of things and Wendy has the sales side,” said Van Trojen, who retains a 2-percent interest in the company.

“I’m the swing-vote,” he said, laughing. “So far, I’ve not

been called in to intervene. My daughters are growing the business and growing it marvelously.

I couldn’t be prouder.”

Sound Safety and Work n’ More employ nearly 50 people, including Calvert’s husband and daughter, and Olmstead’s husband.

“I’m just glad we’re able to employ so many people,” said Olmstead, the company’s vice president.

“We’re a small business, but we’re not small potatoes,” she said.

TOTEM FAMILY DINER With roots deep in the Everett area and named for the historic Story Pole carved by William Shelton, the Totem Family Diner has been Family owned and operated since its beginning, delighting Everett residents and visitors alike for over 70 years.

Opening in 1946, in the same location it is today, along old Hwy 99, the Totem has excitingly stood the test of time. Wearing its years gracefully, it has had a facelift or two, but has maintained its local historic roots through the decades, keeping Classic Northwest Americana alive through its amazing customers, incredible staff, home-cooked food and fast friendly service. Recently awarded The Everett Herald’s “Reader’s Choice” for “Best Breakfast” for its 5th consecutive year, it continues to delight young and old alike, generation after generation.

From traditional American favorites to modern classics, our food is prepared much as it was in decades past, to order, with real ingredients, from scratch, by real people. It’s no small wonder the Totem has been going strong for over 70 years.

Its historic status, and classic vibe, have also earned The Totem national attention as a movie set location, making its big screen debut for films such as “7 Minutes”, the short film “Noironic”, and the soon to be released “Burn it all”.

We are proud to be a part of a great city like Everett for so many years. We are proud of our generations of customers, our neighbors, our military, our veterans, first responders, and prouder yet to be such a community favorite. We are excited for the opportunity to live in and serve our community for many years to come.

As a leader in the field of services for children and adults with disabilities, Sherwood works to educate the community on respectful language, inclusive practices, and disability etiquette.

Our Early Intervention program is the preferred provider to 11 of the school districts in Snohomish County. Our team provides therapy and education for children (birth to three) with developmental disabilities or a diagnosis of a medical condition known to place a child at risk for delays. The goal is to provide supports to help the child reach their developmental milestones before entering school.

Our Vocational program supports high school graduates and adults with disabilities seeking employment, and connects businesses with qualified candidates. We want to not only place people in jobs, but ensure they are in jobs they love. We believe that every individual with a disability should have an opportunity for meaningful employment that uses their abilities to the highest level and offers a competitive wage.

We encourage our communities to start considering what being more inclusive looks like. Don’t think about what a child or an adult with a disability can’t do, consider all of the things they can do. Believe in Abilities with us.

Sound Safety Products Time flies! – on April 1, 2019, Sound Safety Products will celebrate 43 years of servicing our customers throughout the greater Pacific Northwest, and beyond.

The first customer was the Alaska Pipeline and soon followed by the Boeing Company.

It has been a family business from the beginning, started by Don Van Trojen and his wife.

Other family members have joined over the years including Don’s daughters, who are the current company owners, Cindy Calvert and Wendy Olmstead, two son-in- laws, and a grand-daughter. The company has grown from the original 4, to 49 employees.

In 1981, Sound Safety Products moved from the original location in Everett, on Hewitt Ave., to the current headquarters on 36th and Broadway, where the first of their five Work ‘n More stores was started. In 1986, the second Work ‘n More location opened in Tukwila. The third location was opened in Lynnwood in 1993, and the fourth in Bellevue in 2011.

LYNNWOOD — The folks at Day and Nite Plumbing & Heating have seen and heard it all — and a lot of it’s coming from your pipes.

Grease balls. Shower curtains poking through the toilet drain. Gurgling pipes.

In 1986, plumber Bruce Davis Sr. bought a small plumbing company in the Lynnwood area.

Day and Nite, in business since 1954, “had a good name so we kept it, ” said Bruce Davis Jr., the firm’s general manager and part-owner.

Back then, it was Davis Sr., a couple business partners and a truck Now it’s Davis Sr., his son Davis Jr., 30 employees and a fleet of vehicles. “My

Plumbers From Page B22

The company is located at Martha Lake “but we go all the way up to Stanwood,” he said.

The name says it all: Day and Nite Plumbing.

They’re on call 24-hours a day, sevendays a week. They specialize in plumbing, heating and cooling emergencies — crises that trigger migraines and give you that sick, sinking feeling but rarely make it into a Facebook feed.

At least once a year, for example, the company responds to an “I’ve flushed my ring down the toilet” emergency.

“Our track record is pretty good,” Davis Jr. said. “We’ve gotten quite a few back.”

Winter brings the frantic frozen-pipe calls.

They’re sneaky. Often you don’t know you’ve got a cracked pipe until it warms up and you think you’re out of the woods, Davis

Jr. explained.

When the pipes thaw and a flood appears, you need to shut the water off immediately, said David Lalonde, the company’s plumbing division manager.

Easier said than done.

“About 10 years ago, during a big freeze, we realized that many homeowners don’t know how or even where to shut off their gas and water,” Davis Jr. said.

“We will now come out to your house for free and show you how to shut off the water and identify it with a tag,” he said.

Apartment buildings have their own bugaboos.

Jason Morrissey, a company technician, was called to an apartment because the bathroom drain was blocked.

Another firm had removed the toilet in an unsuccessful attempt to clear the drain.

When Morrissey arrived, he saw half a shower curtain sticking out of the toilet drain.

The apartment manager was beside himself — how could someone do this?

Fortunately, Morrissey knew to check the adjoining apartment and bathroom.

The toilets on either side of the wall

were back-to-back and shared a common drain.

When the other company tried to clear it with cable snake, they “unknowingly broke through the toilet in the other unit, and the cable snared the shower curtain,” Davis Jr. said.

“The whole time they were trying to pull a shower curtain from one unit to another

through the toilet drain,” he said.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new will bubble up.

“We never know what we’re going to be up against until we get there — no matter how weird,” Lalonde said.

‘A second renaissance of retail’

By Emily Hamman Bellingham Business Journal

It has been a tough couple of years for many big box retailers. Last month Sears and Mattress Firm became just the latest in a series of major companies to file for bankruptcy and close stores.

While it may be bad news for chain stores, things are looking up for small, local retailers.

That’s especially evident in downtown Bellingham.

“I feel like it’s about to hit a second renaissance of retail downtown,” Alice Clark, executive director of the Downtown Bellingham Partnership, said.

In October, the city moved ahead with a plan to enter into an agreement with local developers Jeff McClure and Jeff Kochman to renovate and redevelop the building at 1314 Cornwall Ave., which used to house JC Penney

before Bellis Fair Mall was built in 1988.

“It’s going to be a huge game changer,” Clark said.

A number of smaller retailers have recently popped up downtown, including jewelry maker Apse Adorn, houseplant store Babygreens and adult boutique WinkWink.

“Our vacancy rate is pretty low right now,” Clark said. “As soon as things become available, they seem to get occupied pretty quickly.”

Some of the most successful retailers are the ones that have adapted to customer’s changing habits and found new ways to entice them into the store.

“People are really looking for more of an experience when they go into a store,” Clark said. The design of the storefront, the product displays, the merchandising, even the smell of a store can now play a big role in drawing customers in, Clark said.

From the shores of Puget Sound to the majestic Cascades, and everything in between...we think this is an incredible place to call home! H.J. McGee Real Estate has been a family run business serving the greater Snohomish/ King county areas since 1954. We have helped thousands of folks realize their property needs for 65 years and now the 3rd generation of the McGee family is helping to carry on that business tradition.

We are a small office, headquartered in our hometown of Snohomish, and we take pride in our focused and thorough care of our customers. We subscribe to two multiple listing services so we have access to the same listings (residential and commercial) as any of the large national or international real estate firms but are small enough to give unique, personal service.

We’ve recently expanded our business to include full-service property management for residential (single family & multi-family) and commercial properties. We handle everything from finding well-qualified tenants to ensuring properties are well maintained. We work to protect and enhance the value and profitability of properties, while at the same time providing quality housing/leased space for tenants.

Within our office, we have brokers with extensive experience and education that can confidently guide home builders/ developers, home buyers or sellers and commercial investors to connect them with the resources necessary for their success.

Feel free to call Barry McGee, Janessa McGee Thomas, Chelsey McGee Loper, Lorraine Matuschak, Al Harrington or Andy Leight with any real estate questions and feel confident you will receive honest and professional answers and guidance!

While some businesses remain solely focused on their physical store, others have embraced the internet.

“People are finding ways to compete with online,” Clark said.

One of those businesses is Modsock.

It maintains its retail store at 1323 Cornwall Ave., where it carries hundreds of designs of novelty socks.

In the back however, the narrow space more closely resembles a warehouse facility.

Cardboard boxes stacked almost to the ceiling are full of the company’s own line of socks, that are shipped out wholesale to other stores all around the world.

Behind that is another room, where products for online sales are stored.

During the holiday season, Modsock owner Urania Shaklee estimates 200,000 pairs of socks moved through the 1,000 square-foot backroom space.

Buck’s American Café 2901 Hewitt, Everett 425-258-1351 Buck’s American Café has been operating in the historic Swalwell building in Riverside Square since 1986. Built in the 1880’s, the site was originally the home of one of the area’s first banks. Through the years it housed a variety of businesses including a haberdashery, and as rumor has it a speakeasy. The original Pines Tavern was located here and operated from the early 1940s until the mid 1980’s.

Our goal at Buck’s American Café is simple. We strive to offer our customers great food in Everett and friendly, prompt service at affordable prices in a comfortable atmosphere. We want your visit here to be enjoyable and by meeting our goals we are confident that we will see you again.

Steeped in history, the story of Bargreen’s Coffee dates back more than a century, and has been a mainstay of Everett since 1898. Sam Bargreen established the business that is known today as Bargreen’s Coffee Company, where he delivered freshly roasted coffee beans to customers’ doors via horse-drawn wagons. Passed down through the family to prominent political and social figure and son, Howard Bargreen, the company now is led by third generation son and grandson, Howie Bargreen. The company has seen many changes throughout it’s 121 year history, but it has never lost it’s commitment to quality and value.
