Inside sales support will initially be handled in the Seattle branch and orders pulled and shipped from Langley. “The plan for the future includes a sales staff in Langley, but for now our Seattle branch has the customer relationships and knows the market,” Jay Hebert, senior vice president of sales, said. Kurt Valli and Jim Simmons head the Pacific Northwest team. The Seattle branch is located at 8307 S. 192nd St., Seattle, WA 98032.
