Fin Anderson

Sales Associate

Fin studied Business and Sustainability at Western Washington University, where he developed a strong foundation in sustainable practices and innovative solutions—principles that continue to guide my work.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about backcountry skiing and exploring the wilderness around Mt. Baker. I also love cooking for family and friends, and enjoy the slower pace of life on Vashon Island, where I live with dogs, and a few goats.
