History

In 1885, Howard Sprague Wright sailed from Nova Scotia into the frontier town of Port Townsend, Washington, where he founded Howard S. Wright Construction Co. His prior work as a cabinetmaker, draftsman and framing superintendent enabled him to quickly establish himself as a quality homebuilder. Wright moved the company to Everett, Washington, and there expanded the business to include commercial and hotel construction.

Howard S. Wright and George S. Schuchart, the third generation, joined the family business in the 1950s and expanded the company's diverse range of services to include aerospace facilities. In the early 1960s, Howard S. Wright Construction Co. was selected as the primary builder for the Century 21 World's Fair in Seattle. It was for this event that the company built the Space Needle – now a symbol for Seattle, WA.

Hospitals, resorts, university and college work, residential and commercial construction characterized the 1970s as the company extended its operations throughout the Western US. Office space, skyscrapers and hotel work dominated the company's work in the 1980s.
