Founded as Puget Sound Tent & Duck in 1896, the company provided tents and supplies to the prospectors headed north to the Alaskan Gold Rush. A former employee, George Schaffer was hired as general manager when he returned from WWI in 1918. Soon after, Schaffer purchased the company and owned/operated it until the Seattle World’s Fair opened in 1962. That year, when the company was sold to Albert Cox and Robert B. Campbell, they changed the company’s name to Puget Sound Tent & Awning, where it operated on 3rdAvenue in downtown Seattle. Bob’s son, Scott Campbell founded Western International Seafood’s Ltd (WISL) in 1978 and in 1984, WISL purchased Puget Sound Tent & Awning, subsequently also changing WISL’s name. The company grew again in 1985 when Scott purchased Seattle Tent & Awning, the largest competitor. Our name, Rainier Industries, was inspired by the Rainier Wall Tent, which was first sold in 1897 by Seattle Tent. This among others, was the first of 18 acquisitions under Scott’s leadership that would create the company we are today.
