Past Present and Future

Washington Shoe Company was founded in Seattle in 1891 to produce rugged outdoor boots designed to meet the harsh conditions of the Alaska Gold Rush. Today, Washington Shoe Company is committed to providing retail distributors with the same high quality, rugged work footwear. The Western Chief Brand is designed to meet and exceed the demands of today's work place while providing comfort and durability, at a reasonable cost.

We are experiencing rapid growth due to the overwhelming response of our retailer dealers. Our program of providing in stock, quality workshoes, at reasonable prices is working. As a result we are happy to announce our move in March 98 to a new larger, state of the art warehouse. Here we plan to continue expanding our product line and to continue improving our level of service to you. All phone and fax numbers will remain the same. The new address is listed below. Our success is a direct result of your success with our products. We thank you for your support.
