To Whom it May Concern:
Olympic Electric Company Inc. has been in business in Port Angeles since 1946. My father, Henry
Burkhardt, purchased the business from Tom Window in the late 70's.The business remained at 5th and
Lincoln Street until 1988,when the property at 4230 Tumwater Truck Route was purchased by my
father.The business has grown since that time to include as much as 30 employees,which we had
during the Port Angeles Water Treatment Plant project(4 years ago).
While the Tumwater location affords us much more space for inventory and equipment, it is not without
its drawbacks. Our septic system was not set up originally for a 5-person office and the varying amount
of electricians working in and out of our shop.The water service has been a shared system with Lincoln
Industries, and now Brian Payne LLC,and has been a bit awkward for determining accurate usage
expenses for all involved.
Olympic electric has a long history as a successful enterprise and employer located in the City of Port
Angeles, and so it is with much appreciation that we see the City has undertaken this step to include our
business in the sewer and water grid.
Sincerely,
Charles T. Burkhardt, President
Olympic Electric Co., Inc.
