About
Who We Are
Evergreen Seismic is a family owned and operated company that specializes in earthquake retrofitting and consulting to primarily residential, and some commercial buildings. With over 20 years of construction experience, 18 of which are specific to seismic retrofitting, Evergreen Seismic not only serves residents within the city of Seattle, but also the surrounding areas. We are proud to serve Seattle and King County, as well as surrounding Snohomish, Pierce, Skagit, and Kitsap counties. Evergreen represents the state of Washington. We serve anyone within our region.
Our Mission
The New Yorker article, The Really Big One, written by Kathryn Schultz, scared many people and resulted in an extremely high demand for seismic retrofitting in the Seattle area. With very few retrofit companies in existence at the time, and a high demand for their services, we decided to start Evergreen Seismic to help level the playing field, and bring the market back to a reasonable price so all could afford the same safety advantages.
