Our summer interns have the opportunity to engage in a variety of fun activities during their time with us, in addition to their more practical, hands-on tasks. In Seattle, we took our interns kayaking on the South Sound, launching right from the dock of our shiny new Tacoma office! Meanwhile, our Portland crew had a blast at Top Golf, where the competition was friendly, and the good times were par for the course. ⛳😄 Huge shoutout to our amazing HR team for keeping the fun flowing with these creative get-togethers! 🎉 #InternLife #WorkAndPlay #TeamBuilding

We celebrated our new Tacoma, Washington office location in the best way: by throwing a big party and inviting some of our favorite project partners! Located on Dock Street, right on the water of the beautiful Puget Sound, our new office has lots of character, plenty of parking, and you really can't beat that view. Thank you to everyone that came out to help us celebrate last week! We look forward to continuing to serve our Tacoma and South Sound clients and enhancing these communities. #tacomaconstruction #buildingcommunities

July was a festive month for Walsh! Both regions hosted their annual summer events, bringing Walsh and RDF BUILDERS CO teams together with their families to have fun in the sun. The Walsh Oregon team had a blast celebrating the summer with friends and their #walshcofamily at Bullwinkle's Wilsonville. The afternoon was filled with fun activities including 16-lane bowling, go-karts, laser tag, miniature golf, bumper boats, the Soaring Eagle zip-line, XD Dark Ride, Kidopolis Playland, and a two-story arcade. The Walsh Washington team gathered for a catered BBQ, complete with a Dippin' Dots cart, at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. Both kids and adults enjoyed a special petting zoo experience with a goat, played yard games like Jenga and Connect Four, and participated in a raffle for summer swag. Everyone had fun, and got the opportunity to enjoy the rest of the zoo after the picnic! #walshconstructionco #employeeappreciation #summerpicnic

We are excited to share the completion of Sandy’s Flats in Olympia, Washington! Recently, we joined Interfaith Works Homeless Services and Johnson Braund, Inc. to celebrate this project with a ribbon cutting ceremony, which honors its namesake, Sandy Betz, a beloved shelter guest. Breathing new life into the Olympia Inn, our team updated this existing hotel to create 26 units of stable, permanent supportive housing, along with the addition of wrap-around support services, a community room, laundry, and kitchen facilities for the residents to enjoy. We were honored to play a role in this project and to join with Interfaith Works in creating more housing opportunities for our vulnerable communities. Click here to learn more about this project: https://lnkd.in/gfZgnhgj Congratulations to Interfaith Works on the completion of this new facility, and a big thank you to our project team: Mike Bang (Sr Project Manager), Angella Hould (Sr Project Manager), Sandi Tovias (Sr Project Manager), Sean Hamelin (Superintendent), Hayley Penning (Project Engineer), and Karen Moon (Project Administrator). #walshconstructionco #affordablehousing #olympiawa #renovation #lowincomehousing

Congratulations to the Salem Housing Authority for receiving national recognition and winning the 2024 Residential Development Award for Major Community Impact from Novogradac & Company LLP for Yaquina Hall ! Yaquina Hall, a historic renovation of the former Oregon State Hospital Nursing building, now provides 52 supportive housing apartments. This eight-year project transformed an old nurses' dormitory into a vital resource for vulnerable populations, including those with serious mental illness. Special thanks to U.S. Bank for the $2.8 million in historic tax equity that helped make this project possible. Shout-out to fellow collaborators AC+Co Architecture | Community, the Housing Development Center, and our Walsh team members Brandi Pine (Bernhardt), Duane Stearns and Jeremiah Guske! #CommunityImpact #HistoricRehabilitation #HousingForAll #novogradac

Work recently completed on one of our small-scale projects, located in North Seattle. Walsh worked with Parkview Homes on the construction of a one-story detached accessory dwelling unit and renovations to the existing basement floor of an existing house, with related sitework. The DADU unit was designed for a specific resident and special care was taken to in the layout of the kitchen and bathroom spaces, and choosing materials suitable to their needs. The project required management of and compliance with Evergreen Sustainable Design Standards, awareness and detailed attention to material durability and serviceability, as well as working through challenges including local utility conflicts and weather. Scott Gilson, the grandfather of Project Manager Whitney Lake, made the "Cul De Sac Clubhouse" sign that was installed in the kitchen window. Congratulations to the project team on the great work: JJ Powell (Senior Project Manager), Whitney Lake (Project Manager), Clay Livingston (Superintendent), Karen Moon (Project Administrator)

BIG NEWS! Walsh has a new, permanent office in Vancouver, Washington 🎉 We have loved working in this beautiful city since the 1980's, and enjoyed our previous space on Officer's Row, but felt drawn to a more permanent place to put down roots. To start us off right as we moved in on Esther Street, we held a ribbon cutting ceremony last week - courtesy of the wonderful folks at Greater Vancouver Chamber - and invited a few of our closest friends. You can read more about our commitment to Vancouver here: https://buff.ly/4cUbQ8i And if you're in the area, pay us a visit. We'd love to show off our new space! #vancouverwa #buildingcommunities
