We’re proud to share that Lakeside Industries has been named the #1 Best Place to Work in Washington in our size category on the Puget Sound Business Journal’s 2026 Washington’s Best Workplaces list.
What makes this recognition special is how it’s decided. The rankings aren’t chosen by a panel of judges. They come from anonymous surveys of our own employees, who rated Lakeside on culture, leadership, benefits, and day-to-day life on the job. Earning the top spot means our crews, drivers, plant operators, mechanics, and office teams said it in their own words: this is a great place to work.
Lakeside has been family-owned and operated since 1955, now in its third generation of Lee family leadership. Being family-owned has always meant more than a name on the door. Our employees and their families are part of the Lakeside Family, and everything we build starts with them. This award is a reflection of that commitment, and of the people across our divisions in Washington and Oregon who live it every day.
Thank you to the Puget Sound Business Journal for the recognition, and congratulations to all of this year’s honorees. Most of all, thank you to our employees. You make Lakeside what it is.
