Birch has done it again -- joining top quality companies around the region as a 2020 Puget Sound Business Journal 100 Washington's Best Workplaces!
It's a huge compliment since results are based on employee feedback about company culture, flexible work-life balance, compensation packages, benefits, training and leadership, and Birch is especially honored to represent the construction industry on a list typically filled with companies from the financial, tech, consulting and staffing sectors.
Last year, Birch was voted 3rd Best Place to Work in Washington State for mid-sized companies, and the Puget Sound Business Journal reveals final rankings for 2020 at a special virtual event August 27th.

Locally and woman owned, Birch provides high quality equipment, services and management systems via lean management, internal customized programming, software and telematics utilization 24/7.
With a dynamic work culture focused on long-range planning, continual investment, working hard, ingenuity, grit, work life balance, dedication to continual improvement and actually being pretty damn funny; employee teams are comprised of tech school, college, high school, ivy league and community college graduates, dropouts and a diverse mix of age, heritage and gender throughout all levels of employment/management.
Loyalty to one another is strong at Birch with average longevity at 13 years and climbing.

The bars and restaurants in our downtown communities offer great bites, unique and classic cocktails and local brews. In addition, these businesses add to our unique culture and make our communities better places. The ever-changing restrictions with Covid have made it even harder for restaurants to continue operating, but we can do our part to help support them while enjoying all the great food & drink they have to offer.
There are so many amazing restaurants, bars and breweries in Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish and King Counties, our favs include:
• Incredible Foods
All the tacos… Our favs: Chicken Tinga, Sweet Potato & Cauliflower and the Carnitas! It’s also a must to order the house-made Queso Fundido
