We are thrilled to share two exciting announcements: our CEO, Danny Steiger, is a finalist for Citizen of the Year, and Angeles Rentals Equipment & Supply has been nominated for Emerging Business of the Year in the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce Community Awards.

These recognitions highlight the dedication and hard work our entire team pours into serving the Olympic Peninsula, our employee-owners, and the builders who call this region home.

Danny Steiger: Finalist for Citizen of the Year

Danny’s nomination reflects his unwavering commitment to improving life across the Olympic Peninsula. Over the years, Danny has worked tirelessly to address critical challenges like housing affordability, workforce development, and economic revitalization.

As Vice Chair of the Port Angeles Planning Commission, he has helped shape responsible development, ensuring growth benefits everyone. His board service with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, the Olympic Workforce Development Council, and the Natural Resources Innovation Center exemplifies his hands-on approach to creating solutions. From empowering local businesses through workforce training to advocating for sustainable job creation, Danny’s work is guided by the belief that small, consistent efforts can lead to meaningful, lasting change.

Danny’s leadership is also evident within our company, where his focus on supporting employee-owners and fostering a strong community connection has helped guide our organization’s success. His recognition as a finalist for Citizen of the Year is a well-deserved celebration of his dedication to building a better future for the Olympic Peninsula.

Angeles Rentals: Finalist for Emerging Business of the Year

Angeles Rentals Equipment & Supply has undergone an incredible transformation in recent years, becoming a valuable resource for contractors, farmers, and homeowners alike. In 2022, we made the bold move of relocating to a larger, standalone facility—a building that required significant revitalization. The result was a stunning transformation that turned an aging property into a modern, vibrant hub for our community.

Past year highlights:

• Invested over $1 million in renovations, creating an ADA-compliant, energy-efficient, and visually appealing space that enhances downtown Port Angeles.
• Expanded our inventory by over $300,000, ensuring they not only offer the best rental selection in Port Angeles and Sequim but offer everything from power tools and sundries to essential hardware supplies to meet the needs of local builders, DIY enthusiasts and homeowners.
• Added five new full-time positions, creating jobs with competitive pay and shares in our employee-owned ESOP program.

Angeles Rentals doesn’t just serve the community through products and services; we actively contribute to local causes. Whether donating equipment to Habitat for Humanity or partnering with the Clallam County Conservation District to help local farmers, we are deeply committed to making a difference.

This nomination for Emerging Business of the Year is a testament to the hard work and vision of our entire team, as well as our dedication to keeping business local and supporting the economic growth of the Olympic Peninsula.

Proudly Serving Port Angeles and Sequim

As the last standing employee-owned lumberyard and hardware store in Port Angeles and Sequim, we take immense pride in being a cornerstone of this community. These nominations are a reflection of the collective efforts of our employee-owners and their commitment to putting people first.

Gratitude for the Recognition

We are deeply grateful to the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce for these nominations. They inspire us to continue serving with purpose and passion, ensuring that our customers, neighbors, and employee-owners have the support they need to succeed.

Thank you for believing in us and being part of this journey. Together, we’re building a stronger future for the Olympic Peninsula.
