When a large paper company left an abandoned mill in Grays Harbor and thousands out of work, the Quigg family saw an opportunity. In 1993, they re-opened as Grays Harbor Paper and brought jobs and hope to the community again. Since then, the the Team Members at Grays Harbor Paper have worked tirelessly, and not always for glory, to produce a quality product with as little impact to the environment as possible.
Organizations committed to sustainable practices have joined with Grays Harbor Paper for their paper supply and in doing so, have started a movement toward a more environmentally-friendly office environment and less waste. Nike, REI, World Bank and Kettle Foods use Grays Harbor
Paper, as well as several large universities and public agencies such as the City of Seattle, City of Portland, City of Santa Monica, City of Hoquiam,
the State of Washington and the State of California. They are joined by environmental groups such as Metafore and Forest Ethics. Grays Harbor
Paper products are used in these agencies to produce annual reports, sustainability reports, account and billing statements and for everyday
copy and printer paper use.
