About Us

History

Family-Owned and Operated

Founded in 1970, Seattle Mailing Bureau was purchased by long-time employee Donna Richardson in 1994. Direct mail became a Richardson family way of life. From working printing presses and driving trucks to design work and logistics, Donna and family have done it all. They still do.

Seattle Mailing Bureau's beginning was simple - mailings sent in huge quantities. But times changed and so have they. Staying on the cutting edge of printing technologies and mail service know-how, they continue to deliver the highest quality service to clients year after year.

Successfully helping clients turn leads into sales required them to expand. Their original 10-employee staff and 3,000-square-foot facility grew to a 20-employee crew and 40,000-square-foot home.

Over the years, Donna passed the reigns to her son, Chad Richardson, current President of Seattle Mailing Bureau. Chad didn't just watch the company grow. He was part of it and still is. At 10, he began working in the mailroom. Today, he maintains the same successful combination of old school values and new technology.

A true family owned and operated business, Chad's sister Kelli, and his son Kyle bring the same attention to detail and commitment to service as Chad. The Richardson family's dedication to building and maintaining customer relationships has made Seattle Mailing Bureau the largest mailing service in the Puget Sound region.
