KENT, Wash. (6/22/2018) We were recently recognized by the northwest office of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) for 62 years of accreditation. In order to be accredited, we had to meet eight key factors in accreditation standards and follow the BBB Code of Business practices.

On Friday, June 15, Lauren Hall, BBB Marketplace manager, presented Vice President of Customer Operations and Communications Andy Wappler, Director of Customer Care Greg Zeller,and Customer Access Center Manager Kris Pringle with a plaque honoring our achievement. The presentation took place in our South King Complex office.
