The Tradition of Chuck Haselwood

Chuck Haselwood's trip from a small-town farm in Ellensburg to a popular entrepreneur and area leader in Bremerton is a testament to his perseverance and entrepreneurial spirit. Born in 1923, Chuck's story began with a vibrant choice to leave the farming life and hitchhike to Bremerton, where he started his occupation working at a gas terminal. His solution in World Battle II under General Patton just honed his drive, leading him to enter the used automobile company after returning home. Partnering with Danny Jones, Chuck introduced his very own gasoline station and sold cars and trucks, eventually forming a lasting collaboration with Bud Higgs to produce Chuck & Buds-- a vehicle dealer that focused on customer support, supplying service warranties uncommon at the time.

Chuck's ruthless drive for advancement led him to increase his business beyond used cars. Chuck's tradition lives on not just in the autos he sold, however in his deep dedication to his neighborhood, which proceeds to flourish in Kitsap County today.
