Our Story
Jim Mitchell served in the Army from 1952 to 1954, achieving the rank of sergeant, he was a veteran of the Korean War. After spending time working for Lent Inc., Jim and his wife Jeanne bought CK Lumber located in Silverdale in 1971. Jim later renamed the business Mitchell Lumber Co. and retired in 1984. During his retirement he enjoyed working on his boat and spending time with his friends at the Bremerton Yacht Club. Jim and Jeanne spent much of their time with grandchildren, boating, and at their winter home in Borrego Springs, California. In 2003 Jim passed away from cancer in his home in Bremerton, Jeanne followed him in 2013.
Jeff Mitchell started working at the lumberyard when he was 15 years old. After graduating from West High in Bremerton he attended Pacific Lutheran University, where we earned a degree in Business. Jeff and his wife Kath bought Mitchell Lumber from Jim and Jeanne in 1984 following Jim's retirement. Jeff ran the lumber yard in Silverdale until he moved the business to it's current location in Belfair in 1992. Jeff operated the business in Belfair until his passing in 2014.
Like his dad, Andy Mitchell started sweeping the floors at the lumberyard when he was 12 years old. Andy continued to work at Mitchell Lumber until, with the encouragement of his father, he decided to pursue his own passion in becoming a professional firefighter. Due to Jeff's unexpected passing in 2014 Andy returned to run the business full time. He and his wife Breezy currently own and operate the business.

Dear Valued Customers of Don Abel Building Supply and Valley Lumber Company,
We hope this message finds you well. We are Breezy and Andy Mitchell, owners of Mitchell Lumber Co., a family-owned and operated full-service lumber yard located in Belfair, Washington. Our company has been serving the Olympic Peninsula since 1971, and we are honored to announce that we have acquired Don Abel Building Supply and Valley Lumber Company in Juneau, Alaska.
We want to share a bit of our personal connection to Alaska. Andy’s great aunt and uncle owned and operated Munz Northern Airlines in Nome, and his extended family still lives in both Nome and Anchorage. His parents spent time living and working in Alaska on tugboats and in canneries. We even chose Alaska as the destination for our honeymoon. This state has always been a meaningful part of our family’s story.
Mitchell Lumber Co. was founded by Andy's grandfather, Jim Mitchell, and has remained a family business through three generations. After Jim's retirement in 1984, Andy's parents, Jeff and Kath Mitchell, took over the business, eventually relocating it to Belfair in 1992. Following Jeff's unexpected passing in 2014, Andy returned to managing the business full-time, with Breezy joining him in 2016. Together, we officially took ownership in 2020, continuing the legacy of dedication to quality service and community involvement.
Our mission at Mitchell Northern Acquisitions is encapsulated in the question, "What good shall I do this day?" We strive to be a valuable resource and trusted partner for our customers, providing outstanding communication, timely and accurate order processing, quality materials at competitive prices, and professional, knowledgeable advice.
