Testimonials
“For nearly 40 years Sea-Tac Electric has built a strong reputation as a leading electrical contractor in the Puget Sound region. Chinook conducted a comprehensive search to find the right partner that would help strengthen our service offering in the region, and MKD Electric is the perfect partner to continue to enhance our capabilities and reputation. Chinook really understood our goals and was able to negotiate terms that were favorable to all parties, and I would highly recommend them to other business owners considering a sale of their business.”

“As a niche business looking to sell, we sought a firm to assist us in the process who we believed would appreciate our specific needs.

“When we were first referred to Chinook Capital Advisors, we knew our company transition plan would be complex and had no clear path forward. The Chinook team worked tirelessly to both educate us on the process and help us implement a plan that ultimately resulted in two separate transactions. Thanks to their efforts, we secured the best possible result for our customers, our employees and ourselves. I highly recommend working with the exceptional team at Chinook to anyone considering a sale of their company.”

They treated me with respect from the very first conversation we had and meticulously researched our company, our industry, and what separated Harley from our competitors. The Chinook team worked hard to present Harley Exteriors as one of the top window replacement companies in the nation. I highly recommend anyone trying to sell their business to work with the Chinook Team.”

“For over 44 years Valley Transformer has been our family’s lifelong work and passion, and hiring Chinook to help prepare the company for a transition and lead the process was one of the best decisions of my career. They had the marketing expertise to conduct a nationwide search for the right buyer for Valley, and they were able to negotiate extremely fair terms to get the deal closed. The Chinook team made the process headache-free, and they were a pleasure to deal with before, during and after the transaction. I would highly recommend them to other business owners considering a sale of their business.”
