The Legacy of Chuck Haselwood

Chuck Haselwood's trip from a small-town ranch in Ellensburg to a distinguished businessman and area leader in Bremerton is a testimony to his perseverance and entrepreneurial spirit. Birthed in 1923, Chuck's story began with a bold decision to leave the farming life and hitchhike to Bremerton, where he started his profession operating at a gas station. His service in World War II under General Patton only developed his drive, leading him to get in the secondhand car company after returning home. Partnering with Danny Jones, Chuck launched his own filling station and sold vehicles, eventually developing an enduring partnership with Bud Higgs to develop Chuck & Buds-- a cars and truck dealer that prioritized client service, supplying service warranties unprecedented at the time.

Chuck's ruthless drive for technology led him to increase his organization past made use of autos. Chuck's heritage lives on not just in the cars and trucks he sold, but in his deep dedication to his neighborhood, which continues to prosper in Kitsap Region today.
