Our History

Based in Everett, and serving Snohomish County, Bridgeways incorporated in 1981. While our array of programs and methods of delivering services has evolved to meet changing community needs, the ever-shifting healthcare landscape, and taking into account services offered by other providers in Snohomish County – our essential mission has remained the same since 1981.

The quality of parts received, the efforts and dedication of your employees, and your outstanding schedule performance are truly exceptional.

Owen Hanby, General Tool & Supply

The chance to work through the MAP program and your belief in me helped me feel like a person again. I was able to work through my past trauma, escape addiction, and deal with severe depression. I now have hopes and dreams for the future – for me and my son.
