In June 2017, Northwest Hardwoods (NWH) moved its company headquarters, home to about 60 employees, four blocks to a new office space in Tacoma, WA.

The purpose of the move, says Brian Narramore, Vice President Human Resources/EH&S for NWH, was two fold. “One, our previous lease was expiring and the renewal would have brought hefty price increases and two, it provided us the opportunity to bring our entire corporate team onto one floor to create a more cohesive work team and environment”.

With the new office environment also came an opportunity—to design a workspace that showcased the products the company manufacturers and brings to market. Led by Office Manager Stephanie Halvorson, the NWH office -design team included representatives from every corporate staff department including sales, accounting, IT, HR, credit and customer service.

“We wanted to showcase the products Northwest Hardwoods manufactures across the country, and imports from around the globe,” explained Stephanie.

Coinciding with the company’s celebration of its 50th anniversary, the newly designed headquarters feature roughly 30 species of wood, including Glacial Maple cabinets, live edge Pacific Coast Maple slab countertops, walnut, maple and hickory flooring.
