Through our leadership team the Foundation continues the family’s vision of service and gratitude.
For more than 130 years, the Seattle-Tacoma Box Company has worked hand-in-hand with farmers, fishermen, and countless industries across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. That same spirit of collaboration and care now guides the Foundation’s mission.
Born from a shared commitment to give back, the Foundation embodies the values that have long defined its founders — integrity, connection, and compassion. Guided by a collective vision of service and gratitude, the Foundation upholds the belief that true success is measured not only in business achievements, but in the well-being of the communities it serves.
