Amish in Washington State

No Amish currently live in Washington state, though a community existed in Washington as recently as the 2000s.  Four Amish families living in Washington at the time eventually left as the settlement failed to grow.  The Amish in the area “grew hay and grain and operated leather, machine, wheelwright and furniture shops” (read more about the former Washington Amish community here: http://articles.latimes.com/2004/may/23/nation/na-amish23).  The great distance from existing Amish settlements in the Midwest and East Coast is likely one discouraging factor for Amish settlement.  The nearest Amish communities to Washington are found in Montana.

Amish woodworking shops

Amish woodworkers can be found in nearly all the 29 states in America where Amish live.  Woodworking has arisen as an important industry in Amish society.  While Amish still farm in large numbers, the Amish furniture shop has provided a way for Amish families to make a living in a home environment.  Along with other small Amish businesses, such as dry goods shops, carpentry crews, and engine repair shops, to name a few, woodworking comprises an important occupational segment for Amish.

Contrary to belief, Amish woodworkers do in fact utilize a significant degree of technology in crafting furniture.  Saws, sanders, planers, and drills are among the numerous power tools used in Amish shops.  However the means of providing power varies.  Some Amish rely on belt and pulley power provided via a drive shaft situated beneath the floor of the furniture shop.  Other more progressive Amish rely on pneumatic or hydraulic power.

Amish furniture makers are able to create a diverse array of furniture in many styles.   Shaker, Mission, and Queen Anne style furniture are popular, but Amish craftsman also produce Prairie, Arts and Crafts, Queen Victoria, Craftsman, as well as contemporary and urban furniture styles.  Amish also create custom furniture pieces based on their clients’ wishes.  Kitchen cabinet makers design kitchens complete with extensive cabinetry work and kitchen islands.  Amish also produce a wide array of outdoor furniture, including rockers, gliders, and benches, as well as outdoor structures, such as pet houses, mini barns, sheds, playhouses, gazebos, pergolas, and more.
