Trico Office Interiors was formed in Bellingham, WA in 1951 as Tri County Office Equipment. At it’s beginning the firm sold very little office furniture but concentrated on typewriters, adding machines, and office supplies. The major marketing tool at the time was the Northwest Washington Fair where a booth was manned by many of the employees showing the wizardry of those “state of the art” products.

In 1964 Tri County Office Equipment purchased an existing office furnishings dealer in Bellingham, making them the largest office equipment dealer in the Northwest corner of the State. At approximately the same time, a printing firm was merged into the operation and Tri County Office Equipment became a sort of “one-stop shop” for anything relating to the office.

Many years of success followed this formula until the advent of the “box” stores and internet buying capabilities. At that point, in the early 1990s, with over 50 employees, the firm began to shed the less profitable parts of the organization. The printing division was sold to a local print firm and the supplies department was closed. That left the specialized Office Interiors portion as the viable entity to continue forward.

Since the beginning Trico has been locally owned with a vision of being the leader in our field. Trico Office Interiors specializes in workplace productivity solutions in Northwest Washington. Dealing with space, health, and productivity as a single component, Trico is the “go-to” firm for those dealing with office density and productivity issues. Offering a full spectrum of price/value products to create solutions is the key to the completeness that Trico offers its customers.
