The Nashville Office is going through its fourth remodel. In 1997 we decided to UPGRADE the SPACE and used glue melthing chemicals to remove the age old carpet. The happy result...beautiful hard wood floors underneath it all. Boy, was that a job! We’re pretty sure we destroyed massive amounts of brain cells doing the first overhaul.

Then, the busier we got the hungrier we got (probably the chemicals), so in 2003 we decided we needed a BIGGER KITCHEN with more SPACE. While we were at it we added a deck. That was the OUTDOOR SPACE we needed! Then we started adding clients and with more clients came more employees, and before you knew it, we needed MORE SPACE. We needed to store lots of things like company shirts, files, boxes, traffic cones and signs that read BUSES ONLY and DO NOT ENTER. Where to put all that stuff?

So, in 2006, we remodeled again, adding TWO SPACES for a couple of employees and more storage. Plus, we added a basement, that has often served as a tornado shelter, and a carport for the old STS pickup truck! SPACE! We had SPACE!

But, guess what? It happened again, more clients and employees. So this year, we decided to remodel THE SPACE we currently occupy by building more offices. While all of this is going on behind us, folks in the front are buddying up and living with a little LESS SPACE in order to make MORE SPACE for others! We can’t wait for all the SPACE to be finished, because it’s going to be awesome. We may even have room for a ping pong table! We think that’s a GREAT use of SPACE! We’ll continue to keep you posted on our continuing quest for MORE SPACE!

Seattle

Happy Anniversary to the Seattle office! May 1st marked the 1st Anniversary of the opening of the Stewart Transportation Solutions Bellevue, Washington office. Located on Bel-Red Road, the new STS office is just a stone’s throw away from the Microsoft Redmond Campus and all the shops, restaurants and fun spots to hang out in Bellevue.

After a few years of our team working out of their homes and getting together a couple of times a week, we decided we needed REAL WORK SPACE for the Seattle peeps! We had a few things in mind when we were looking for a nice place to call home in and well, windows were a big deal. With all the rain Seattle gets we figured light, light and more light was a necessity. We painted walls, cleaned windows and assembled office furniture until we dropped, but we got the office up and running schedule. It is hard to believe it has been a year. Next time you’re in Bellevue, stop by 12951 Bel-Red Road and see our new OFFICE SPACE!
