Greenwood Hardware Employee Spotlight – Willow Yoder

We simply cannot say enough about our amazing staff members here at Greenwood Hardware. They are truly family and make our store that much better with their helpful presence!

We’ll periodically add new staff members to our blog, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates.

Willow Yoder

Willow has been with us for over 11 years.  She does not live in Seattle but sure knows how to cater to the community and keep Greenwood Hardware relevant and involved in the “hood.  You will likely find her in the office sending orders, paying bills and making the store run smoothly.  Willow lives in Lynnwood, but loves shopping locally AND EATING here on the Ridge with her husband James and daughter Jillian, who is a member of the North Queens Drill Team.

Being very passionate about greyhounds… you may have seen her at the Greenwood Car Show working with Royal Hounds Greyhound Adoption to find homes for retired racing greyhounds. She owns two greyhounds of her own and actively fosters others to get them placed in good homes.

She is also a volunteer with Lake City Western Vigilantes and Sidekicks.  I am sure you have seen them selling buttons at parades for donations and driving their old international harvester painted yellow and red.  They donate to youth activities across the state and have been doing so, all by volunteer since 1946.

Coming from a more corporate and office environment, she relished being able to work more with the public and the community.  The one thing she would want share with everyone is how important it is to shop local.  She says,” If everyone realized how much money stays in THEIR community when shopping local, they would spend every dollar they could at mom and pop stores!”

Stop on by soon and say hello to Willow and the rest of our staff!
