Founded in 1988 by former Crown Zellerbach executives Richard Kott and Ron Mason, Atlas Columbia Warehouse (ACW) started with a 20,000 ft² facility in Lakewood Industrial Park. Initially serving the James River Port Angeles Mill, ACW expanded its services to include lumber reloading for the Weyerhaeuser Snoqualmie Mill.

Recognizing the growth potential in rail shipping, Kott and Mason developed the Simpson Landing Industrial Park in 1996. By 1997, Michael Mason joined as Facility Manager and later purchased ACW in 2001, driving further growth. ACW expanded its operations to a 166,000 ft² building, enhancing services with international shipping and container stuffing.

In May 2024, ACW was acquired by the Stryder Group of Companies, continuing to operate proudly under its own banner.

Our warehouse spans 166,000 square feet, with over 300,000 square feet total when combined with our sister facility across the road. Atlas Columbia specializes in handling and storing a variety of cargo types, including dry and industrial goods, with a focus on paper.
