History
The Corliss Family’s business began in the year 1919 when John (Doc) Corliss provided gravel from the Corliss family homestead to Henry Kaiser Paving for building State Highway No. 5 between Sumner and Buckley. Doc’s son Tim with his wife Vera and their son Harry expanded into the concrete business in 1945. Since that time Harry has added gravel processing plants and concrete batch plants to Enumclaw, Puyallup, Federal Way and Kent which provides excellent service ability to South King County and Pierce County. In 2003, Harry’s son Scott spearheaded the building of the state of the art facility and truck shop located at the original Sumner site which was featured in Concrete Products Magazine in August of 2004. Today Scott Corliss is the President of Corliss Resources, Inc. and he has the assistance of his two sons, Eric Corliss, V.P. of Administration and Finance and Steve Corliss, V.P. of Operations making it the fourth generation to own and operate the business.
