As we look back over this year and the the last 31 years, we feel so lucky that we’ve been able to play such an intimate role in people’s lives—from building & personalizing a family’s home, to constructing a medical clinic that will save lives, we’re honored to have a hand in the growth of our Pacific Northwest community.

For Rush, 2018 was best defined by our President, Matt Smith's words at our recent Holiday party... "the best year ever." Over the past year we have worked hard at making it the "best year ever," take a peek in our highlight reel below:

 

 

We feel nothing but gratitude for the employees who have made us who we are and for the continued opportunity to serve the greater South Sound area. 

Beyond our work in the construction and real estate industry, as a company we make it a priority to give back to the communities we live and work in.  Through a wide variety of local charities and organizations , we are proud to serve our community in more ways than one and look forward to continuing these efforts in the years to come. [Get a glimpse of how "Rush Gives" has supported our region in 2018 here.](https://www.therushcompanies.com/blog/blog/rush-gives-2018-in-review)

Looking to the future, it’s our goal to keep getting better at what we do, continue to be strategic in how we grow and always deliver exceptional results. We’re honored to be a part of building an exceptional future together in the Puget Sound Region!
