Highlights from this Year
A lot of exciting changes have taken place this year. After a year of hard work, the new plant at King Creek Plant is finally running.
The King Creek Pit expansion included a new surge tunnel system.Recently, we hired Steve Smith as operations manager to help King Creek Pit and Kapowsin Quarry work together more efficiently. Steve worked for Martin Marietta for two years as plant manager.
Steve Smith received a bachelor’s degree in geomatics and survey engineering in 2015.Did you know that we shipped Armorstone as far as New Jersey in 2017? Not only is Armorstone being shipped nationwide but our infill sand for synthetic turf fields is making an impact. We most recently shipped infill sand to Anchorage, Alaska, where it will be used in the new field at The Dome.
Our Employees Make Washington Rock Possible
I appreciate everything our team members do for Washington Rock and all of the hard work that goes into making products for construction projects across the U.S.
